Денежное обращение на территории курских северян в IX—X вв.

Abstract

Monetary circulation on ihe territory of Kursk Severiane began in the 1st quarter of the 9th century and was interrupted in the last quarter of the 10th century at the time of forced annexation of this territory to Kievan Rus. Dirhems of Arabian Caliphate along with their half pieces, which arrived from Khazaria and circulated by the piece, were the only coins used there throughout all the 9th century. Since the beginning of the 10th century the southern route of dirhems arri\al was replaced by the eastern (Volga-Oka) one through which many more Central Asian minted dirhems began to come to Kursk area of the Seim reaches.
