At the end of December last year, Hungarian archeologists unearthed the country's largest ever cache of late Roman to medieval coins near the village of Újlengyel in central Hungary, experts of the Ferenczy Museum announced.

An extended search began after in 2019, the same location produced a cache of 150 medieval coins, prompting the archeologists to extend their search.

During the December archeological exploration they searched for additional coins with a metal detector and found the treasure on a nearby hill, a little further from the original site. The experts followed the trail of money and opened a 1x1-meter shaft from which a vessel was unearthed, the belly of which was torn out by a plow at some point, which scattered the coins.
