A Journey Back to The Destructions of Jerusalem – Tisha B’Av Special

An 11-year-old Girl Found a Rare Silver 2000-Year-Old Coin

The rare coin was discovered by a girl who came with her family to the "archeological experience" operated by the City of David together with the National Parks Authority in the Emek Tzurim Sifting Project in Jerusalem. Scholars believe that the coin unearthed was extracted from the many silver reserves kept in the Second Temple and was probably minted by one of the Temple Priests, who joined forces with the Great Revolt of the Jews against the Romans, shortly before the destruction of the Second Temple.
