The Coins from Or ‘Aqiva (North) (pp. 75–79)

Forty-six coins were unearthed in the Or ‘Aqiva excavations, including a hoard of 22 coins. All the coins, from the hoard and isolated coins as well, were of bronze, except for a Ptolemaic silver tetradrachm. All the coins in the hoard, but one, are of the ‘Apollo Standing’ type, originally minted in Antioch. The Or ‘Aqiva coins date to the Hellenistic period, from the reign of Ptolemy II to that of Antioch III; no control marks were found, and thus, it is difficult to establish their mint classification.
