English: The hoard was placed in a small clay vessel. It was buried after 991 at the earliest. It contained nearly 60 grams of silver, mostly Arab and German coins, and one Danish coin. During World War II, a part of the hoard was lost. Only five of the 29 coins in the hoard have survived to this day. Four of them are Arab coins related to the Abbasid dynasty, one coin comes from Persia in the period of the Sassanid Empire. The Baltic lands, which in the early Middle Ages were mostly occupied by West Slavic tribes, were mainly supplied with Arabic coins by merchants maintaining long-distance trade links with the states of the Middle Eastern Caliphate from the 8th/9th centuries. They were used as means of payment, based on their weight and type of metal used for minting them. The Kurów coin has a diameter of 2.5 centimetres. It was struck from silver plate weighing 2.7 grams at the Al-Basra mint in the territory of modern-day Iraq between 754 and 775, during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Al-Mansur (born in ca. 712).
