Abstract
The paper presents the results of the tests on the chemical composition of coins from the Pelagonia
region (North Macedonia) dating from Roman times, using the SEM-EDS method. From the results obtained, it can be
concluded that there are two types of coins present: bronze and copper. In the case of bronze coins based on the chemical
composition of bronze, two types of coins can be distinguished: 1) bronze coins with the following composition: Cu�45,81-46,31 %; Sn- 26,78-47,26%; Pb-6,37-9,37 %. In their composition these bronze coins are not similar to the
bronze coins from other regions of the world. 2) bronze coins with the following composition: Cu-65-85 %; Sn-12-31
%; Pb-3,49-11,59 %. The composition of bronze of these coins is similar to that from Egypt, Ancient Greece, Phoenicia,
Ceylon, Korea and the Celtic bronze coins in England. 3) copper coins with the following composition: Cu-97,53-98,12
%, Pb-1,11-1,50 %. The composition of these copper coins is very similar to the composition of coins from Mycenae
and Thebes
