 In the second phase of La Tène, reasoned on the basis of finds, Dacia appears to have experienced a temporary "silver crisis", probably related to an increase in the minting of silver denarii; therefore, bracelets dated to that time had been made of mild alloy and only plated with a silver layer about 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) thick.The layer was so well welded that the welding can not be identified by the naked eye, even in cross sections.Specimens of the group include finds from Sarmasag (Salaj County) and Dersca (Botosani County).
