Silver and golden Islamic coins kept in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Local Lore Museum are discussed in the article. The coins were found on the territory of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi fortress. In fact, all of them were passed to the Museum by private persons, except one coin found by the Prychornomorska Archaeological Expedition headed by H.H. Mezentseva. A 916—917 dirham of the Samanids is the earliest of the coins presented. Findings of Kufic dirhams were known in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi before. Perhaps, a finding of this coin was related with the trading routs functioning. Coins of Golden Horde are represented by two items: yarmaq of Tulabuga and dirham of Ordu Melik. As against from the first coin, which analogies are found in the horde and among single finds from Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi territory, the other coin is rare for this region. The most numerous group contains the coins of the Ottoman Empire minted from the end of the 15th to the beginning of the 20th centuries. The greatest number of Ottoman coins belong to the period of Bayezid II (1481—1512) reign, which is related probably to the mass building works in the fortress in this period. The attention also should be paid to a unique akce imitation of the end of the 17th century having no analogies yet. The last group contains the coins of the Crimean Khanate which were used in Akkerman together with Ottoman coins during the whole period of their mint (from the 1440s to 1783), though in a lesser number, as the findings published earlier confirm.
