The present authors reconsider the already published in 1981 Afrighid drachm of the last quarter of the 8th century AD found during the deepening of the riverbed near the Novgorod townsite. A new investigation has resulted in a more exact attribution of the coin. The examination of the metal of the find, its state of preservation and the circulation of the eastern monetary silver in the Ilmen-Volkhov region have allowed us to conclude on the most probable time of its occurrence in the territory under consideration.
