A 2,000-year-old Jewish rebel coin from 70 A.D. was discovered near Jerusalem's Temple Mount, minted during the final year of the Great Revolt before the Temple's destruction.

The discovery was announced by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) on July 31, just days before Tisha B’Av – the Jewish day of mourning that marks the Romans' destruction of the Temple, near where the coin was found.
