Rare Half-Shekel Coin from the Great Revolt Found in Jerusalem’s Ophel Excavations

Rare Half-Shekel Coin from the Great Revolt Found in Jerusalem’s Ophel Excavations

13 December, 2022

Recent excavations in the Ophel area south of the Temple Mount uncovered the remains of a monumental public building from the Second Temple period, which was destroyed in 70 CE.

In the destruction layer, dozens of Jewish coins were found from the period of the Great Revolt (66–70 CE), most of them of bronze. This assemblage also included a particularly rare and unusual find - a silver coin in a half-shekel denomination originating from 69/70 CE.
