[1] The treasure consists of a phiale, an amphora, three oinochoai and four rhytons with total weight of 6.164 kg of 24-karat gold.

[10] The phiale carries inscriptions giving its weight in Greek drachmae and Persian darics.

[11] It was accidentally discovered on 8 December 1949 by three brothers, Pavel, Petko, and Michail Deikov, who worked together at the region of “Merul” tile factory near the railway station of the town of Panagyurishte, Bulgaria.

[12] At the time of its discovery it was considered "the richest treasure to have been unearthed in Europe since World War II.".

[18] There are three replica sets, which are displayed in the museums in Panagyurishte, Sofia and Plovdiv, when the authentic treasure is lent for exhibitions abroad.
