Abstract
Eighteen coins were found in the vestiges of three structures on Jerusalem Street, Safed, and all were identified. Four Frankish-period billon deniers date to the 1160s–1250s: an Amalricus denier, a twelfth-century French Feudal coin, a Cypriote denier of Lusignan Cyprus and a thirteenth century denaro minted in the kingdom of Sicily. One Zangid and five Ayyubid copper fulus date between the second half of the twelfth and the first two decades of the thirteenth centuries. Eight Mamluk fulus date to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
