18 Fatimid dinars and a group of six Byzantine imperial gold coins.

As indicated by the overseers of the exhuming Dr Peter Gendelman and Mohammed Hatar of the Israeli Antiquities Authority "the coins permit to connect the fortune to the campaign of the city in 1101, quite possibly the most sensational occasions in the archaic history of the city.
