‘Atiqot 78 (2014) ISBN 2948-040X Coins from the al-Wata Quarter, Safed (Zefat) (pp. 159–160) Ariel Berman Keywords: Galilee, numismatics The excavations in the Hâret al-Wata quarter in Safed (Zefat) yielded a few out-of-context finds: a Late Roman coin from the fourth century, a Fatimid silver coin from the eleventh century, and a single Ayyūbid copper coin from the end of the twelfth century. Seven copper fulūs, minted at Dimashq and Iskandariya, represent the main Mamlūk period of the site (thirteenth–fifteenth centuries CE). Five copper manghir, minted at Dimashq and Egypt in the sixteenth century, represent a relatively short phase during the early Ottoman period.
