Two young men found a clay pot containing almost 650 silver coins on an agricultural land just outside the town of Sântana, Arad county, in western Romania.

According to Sântana City Hall, the two discovered the small treasure accidentally and handed it over to the authorities.

"This week, two young people, one from Sântana and one from Pâncota, accidentally discovered a clay pot containing 643 silver coins on an agricultural field close to Sântana," City Hall representatives announced.
