Abstract
The coin finds from Jerusalem Boulevard in Yafo represent a wide chronological range, from the second century BCE to the early years of the State of Israel, reflecting the city’s long and multiple-layered history. Among the coins were two Seleucid-period small bronzes; a single prutah from the Roman period; three Byzantine-period coins—a small pre-reform copper nummus, a post-reform nummus and a follis; Ummayad post-reform coppers; two medieval silver coins—one of them is a square-cut dirham; and five Late Ottoman currencies, including a gold 10 franc coin of Napoleon III and a pierced 5 Milliemes.
