"Coin of Jesus Found in Ancient Tiberias Excavation"


29 Nov 2004

A group of young people participating in the archaeological excavation of Ancient Tiberias discovered a rare coin issued in celebration of the First Millennium of Jesus' birth. A blurred image of Jesus appears on the front, while on the back, the words "Jesus the Messiah King of Kings" are clearly engraved in Greek.
