The nice thing about the story of this coin, is one of my friend went to a walking in the area where she lives after a rainy day, and found the coin on the ground.

the place where this coin found is near the historical area which is called: tel megiddo.

 is nice to find a coin when you know the last person who used it lived almost 2000 years ago  :)

thanks
