> An 11-year-old girl found a rare silver coin dating from approximately 67-68 CE in dirt from excavations at the City of David park in Jerusalem.
> "We poured the bucket with the dirt on the strainer, and as we filtered the stones that were inside, I saw something round," Krutokop said of the moment when she found the coin in a statement.
> After cleaning and examining the coin, archaeologists overseeing the site believe the coin may have been minted by Temple priests sympathetic to the cause of the Jewish rebels in their war against the Romans who controlled Jerusalem at the time.
> The coin is marked on one side with a cup and the letters "Shin" and "Bet," which indicate that it was minted during the second year of the war, sometimes also called the Great Revolt.
> The other side of the coin bears an inscription associated with the headquarters of the High Priest in the temple and the words "Holy Jerusalem." That inscription, along with the high quality of silver from which the coin was made, indicate that the coin may have been minted by a priest using metal from the Temple's own silver reserves.
> Dr. Robert Kool, who leads the coin department at the Israel Antiquities Authority, said the coin was especially unusual because it was made of silver.
