%X Sa£¿etak The fir st and the only known example of silver coin (Banovac, Banski denar) of the duke Charles of Anjou (1350 and 1353- 1354) can be found in the numismatic collection of the Museum of Slavonia in Osijek. It is about denarius of the duke Charles, the son of K¨¢roly R¨®bert, brother of Louis I. of Hungary (1342-1382), who held the title as Slavonian duke from the year 1350. Banovac was discovered by chance in the 19th century at an unknown site in Klisa (Ecclesia) nearby Osijek. The primary aim of this paper is to give a further insight into the typology of Banovac, but also to contribute to the study of important, but less researched archeological sites in Klisa. We will refer to some of its most valuable finds, and link Banovac to Klisa cemetery research site. It is important to emphasize that this type of coin demands iconographic elaboration and broader debate due to complex heraldic and dating aspects. We talk about denarius which completely differs from the usual money emissions of Banovac, and is quoted by most authors who researched Croatian medieval history (TRUHELKA 1897:126; KLAI£¿ 1900:113; RENGEO 1959:38; DOLENEC 1996: 38). Although it was described and presented (graph drawing, no photo), denarius has never been reviewed in wider archeological context, i.e. with topographical overview of the research site, which contains a wealth of archeological heritage. The first to analyze and graphically present this denarius was Truhelka in 1897, and his research brought comprehensive and nowadays generally accepted universal typology of Banovac. Klisa is a village situated in eastern Slavonia, next to Osijek ¨C Klisa airport, east from the city of Osijek, which derives its name from the old name Ecclesia, i.e. church (Lat. ecclesia, Fr. ¨¦glise). A big church Santus Salvator and its attendant lands were situated at this site, and it is mentioned in the list of settlements of Eastern Croatia from the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century (1698. et 1702., Osijek, 2000., pp. 39,59). The same list describes village borders and the closest surroundings in the vicinity of the village, where archeological sites are located on two hills (southwest from today¡¯s village Klisa). Those are Klisa hill, significant neolitic site and Klisa cemetery, a site from antique and medieval period. Klisa cemetery was situated about 2 km south-west from the village Klisa, on a small, eliptically shaped, hill, 140 x 160 m in diameter, which rose approximately 4 meters above terrain. Despite being aware of the existence of these important
