The Israel Antiquities Authority recently announced the discovery of a rare gold coin bearing the image of the Egyptian queen Berenice II. The find was made during excavations at the Givati Parking Lot in the City of David. The coin, a quarter-drachma struck in pure gold, dates to 246–221 BC. Queen Berenice II was the wife of Ptolemy III Euergetes. Fewer than 20 such coins are known worldwide, and this is the first to be uncovered in situ during a controlled archaeological excavation. Many scholars believe that the prophecy in the book of Daniel (11:8) refers to Ptolemy III.
