“…Documentation of the spatial heterogeneity of ancient silver has been demonstrated for S, Cu, and Bi in metal grains, and silicon oxide and iron oxide inclusions have been documented, particularly in primary (non-remelted and re-cast) metal (Giovannelli et al , 2005). Similarly, Fe, Zn, Au, Hg, and Pb have been shown to exhibit spatial variability at scales of 0.02–0.2 mm (Uzonyi et al , 2000, their Fig. 3; Kantarelou et al , 2011).…”

“…The materials that constitute these objects can reveal important technological and environmental features that enhance knowledge about their history, manufacturing, style and archaeological environment. For example, the chemical composition of the alloy may provide insights into the manufacturing procedure (Pitarch et al 2011), the presence or absence of trace elements might point to possible sources of raw material or mints (Linke et al 2004;Šmit and Šemrov 2006;Birch et al 2019), while chronological and quantitative analyses of groups of coins from a particular period may serve to clarify economic evolution and development of production processes (Uzonyi et al 2000).…”

“…Several analytical approaches have been employed over the years to provide qualitative or quantitative answers to archaeologists, historians and numismatic researchers. These have included destructive (Nir-El 1997) or non-destructive procedures (Linke et al 2004;Pitarch et al 2011), surface (Uzonyi et al 2000;Šmit and Šemrov 2006) or all-encompassing (Gordus 1967;Rosenberg 1985) methods, or various combinations of them. Earlier studies on the physico-chemical properties of historic coins involved the use of neutrons to perform analyses of entire coins (Brown and Tindall 1979).…”

“…Currently, non‐destructive analytical approaches are preferred for scientific investigation, because the subject of analysis can be very expensive, rare or even unique (during non‐destructive measurement, the material of the coin is not modified). Proton‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE) has recently become popular for the analysis of silver coins in various historical contexts (Smit and Kos ; Meyer and Demortier ; Hajivaliei et al ; Dacca et al ; Uzonyi et al ; Flament and Marchetti ; Smit and Semrov ). On the other hand, coins damaged by corrosion processes and their fragments can commonly be analysed by destructive methods as well, reflecting the metal composition of the whole material of the coin.…”
