A picture of the silver treasure hoard still in its hiding place

Three Ukrainian laborers uncovered a stash including silver coins, cutlery and goblets, weighing almost half a ton when rebuilding a landing between floors in a building on Duškova Street in Prague 5 in November 2008. Nobody claimed the silver which is now in the ownership of the city. On Tuesday Prague City Council approved a reward of Kč 200,000 to each of the three finders.
