Abstract:
This work is the result of a investigation of silver-containing numismatic material discovered in the territory of Burunduki village located in the Tatarstan Republic (Russia). The coins were minted in the 13th century in Bolgar during the rule of the Juchid dynasty (the Golden Horde). X-ray fluorescence analysis of transverse fractures was selected as a research method in order to obtain an adequate pattern of chemical element distribution across the structural layers of coin material. The results of this study demonstrated that fracture-base mapping corresponds to physical processes occurring in the course of pressure processing. As a result, local material can clearly be classified into two groups in terms of chemical composition and manufacturing technique.
