Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to the publication of copper coins of Bulgarian coinage, raised in the vicinity of the town of Salamykovo, Laishev district of Tatarstan. A total of 195 specimens were discovered with the names of Caliph al-Nasir and Kaan Munke. All of them belong, according to the author, to the period of the late 1230s - 1250s. When analyzing metrology, it was found that the spread of weight values   lies in the range from 0.6 to 5.2 g, the maximum histogram falls on the value of 2.2 ± 0.2 g. Separately, a copy is disassembled with the legend "Dinar minted Bulgar." Analogies are drawn with complexes from the Bulgarian settlement and from Chakma.
