A total of 30 coins were unearthed on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street, 16 of which were identified. The coins date to the Hellenistic (third century BCE), Roman–Byzantine, late Ottoman (late eighteenth–early twentieth centuries) and British Mandate (1942) periods. These coin finds join the more than 2500 coins recovered by excavation in Yafo, reflecting the city’s long and multi-layered history.
