“…Currently, active experimental research is being conducted on the coins discovered during excavations using both traditional research methods and modern methods of non-destructive structural diagnostics [9][10][11][12][13]. Such structural methods include the X-ray diffraction method [14,15], which makes it possible to obtain information about the phase composition of the investigated object, and the neutron imaging methods, which allows to obtain the spatial distribution of phase components in the volume of the studied coins [13,14,[16][17][18]. The neutron tomography method, due to the features of the neutron beam interaction while passing through the elements of the investigated object with different chemical compositions, thickness and density, makes it possible to obtain detailed information about the internal structure of metal coins [16,19] with a spatial resolution at the micron level [20], as well as to obtain a virtual three-dimensional model of the coin for further analysis.…”
