Dr. Ariel added, “While the bronze and silver coins of Emperor Trajan are common in this country, his gold coins are extremely rare. So far, only two other gold coins of this emperor have been registered in the State Treasures, one from Giv‘at Shaul near Jerusalem, and the other from the Qiryat Gat region, and the details on both of them are different from those that appear on the rare coin that Laurie found.”
