![An excerpt from de Palaminy et al. 2026 on the sources of Fatimid gold coins found in the Caesarea hoard:
"The number of Early Islamic single gold coins and hoards discovered in excavations over the past decades has grown exponentially, particular those minted during the Fatimid period (10th-11th c.) [65]. As a result, numismatic research has made impressive advances with publication of a detailed corpus of these coins [66,67]. In 2015, a hoard of 2,668 gold coins of this period, one of the largest hoard of its kind ever discovered in the Eastern Mediterranean (weighing 7.5 kg), was found in a shipwreck in the ancient harbor of Caesarea, Israel [68]. Now housed in the Coin Department of the Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem, this assemblage offers a rare and valuable case study for gold provenance research. It presents two major advantages: it is both “sourced” and “sealed.” First, its archaeological context is securely known—unlike coins in most numismatic collections, which mostly derive from undocumented donations. Second, having remained underwater for nearly a millennium, the hoard has not been subject to post-depositional processes such as reminting, recycling, or forgery, nor chemical cleaning, preserving the original metallurgical composition of the coins."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twqucin7jqhlteuk37lqltr7/bafkreibzcoyh5bpeslilvhnwgxc2nqdykzrv6aflfveyod4ftkprnev5ly)
