Abstract: The surface of a silver coin "Sobol'" is investigated by local x-ray fluorescence analysis and measuring the electrode potential. It is shown that the coin blackening is associated with the formation of silver sulfide Ag 2 S.

“…The coin was made from Sn-Pb alloy and was ascribed to either funerary use, or more probably to coin production carried out during a period of economic difficulty immediately preceding the year 409 BC, when the city of origin was destroyed by Carthaginian armies. Another specific examination was carried out by Erusalimchik et al 305 of Moscow State Technical University on the silver coin 'Sobol', demonstrating that coin blackening was associated with the formation of silver sulfide. Fifteen Indian coins were analysed by EDXRF and PIXE by Santra et al 306 and comparability between the results evaluated.…”

“…However, it is often difficult to distinguish the denomination of coin due to serious wear and tear, which increases the difficulty of replacing such coins for subsequent recasting. This problem is also encountered with ancient coins found in archaeological digs which are often worn and damaged coins 6 and prove difficult to determine their category and dynasty.…”
