The treasure was deposited in the Krasnodar Museum (KM - 1021-1034) 1 . After N. V. Anfimov, an employee of the museum, informed 2 about the discovery, this treasure was mentioned in the summary of Bosporan treasures of Roman time 3 . Meanwhile, a detailed description of staters from this treasure by year and type, as well as their metrological data, has not yet been published. The Kazan hoard includes only 14 coins, of which Sauromat II owns 4 copies. (N 1-4), Rescuporide III - 10 copies. (N 5-14). The most similar in composition and time of concealment to the published complex is the hoard of 1958 from Gnilovsky gorodishche4, consisting of staters Evpator, Sauromat II and Reskuporid III. * The article was written in the framework of the project "Hoards of ancient coins in the South of Russia", supported by the Russian State Scientific Foundation. The project code is 98-01-00113. 1 The authors thank the director of KGIAMZ I.
