Abstract
The paper presents the results of archaeological research of Mangup fortress which is one of the largest sites of so-called “cave towns” of the South-West Crimea group. The precise chemical composition of coins was examined by X-Ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) on a Supermini 200 (Rigaku, Japan) sequential wavelength-dispersive spectrometer. The analysis of coin alloys indicated some trends in the coin production of Crimea and the surrounding areas.
