An exceptionally rare bronze coin, minted during the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–135 c.e.), has been discovered in recent excavations in Jerusalem. For some idea of how rare this coin is: Over 22,000 coins have been discovered within the Old City of Jerusalem. Of those, only four have dated to the time of this revolt.

This find is made more exciting by the fact that this is the only one of those coins to bear the name “Jerusalem.”
