Author is using information published at the Violiti auction forum site to study finding of Western European denarii in Ukraine. Violiti auction forum is the specific site to post images of findings coins for their attribution. The article is a continuation of the research taking place in the publication "New findings of Scandinavian coins IX–XI centuries at the territory of Ukraine" (No 4. 2020): The Ukrainian Numismatic Annual). Half-bracteate (No 1) is among the finds of early Danish coins and belongs to the "second row" of the first Danish coins. It was struck during the reign of king Harald Bluetooth (ruled 958–987). This is the fourth registered case of half-bracteate finds in Ukraine. We discussed the first two finds (Kyiv region) in the previous article.
