A coin that carried faith and identity through time.


Minted in ancient Judea around the 4th century BCE, the Hemi-Obol YHD coin is one of the earliest pieces of Jewish currency.


Front: A lily — symbol of Jerusalem’s purity and rebirth.Back: An eagle, wings spread in strength, beside the Hebrew inscription “𐤉𐤄𐤃” (YHD) — short for Yehud.


Struck under Persian rule, it represents the first time Hebrew script appeared on a coin — a small silver testament to resilience, identity, and divine connection.


A story of a nation rebuilding, told through metal and meaning.

🪙 Before Bitcoin, before Ethereum — there was YHD.

The Hemi-Obol YHD coin, struck in 4th century BCE Judea, was one of humanity’s first “sovereign tokens.”

On one side, a lily — symbol of purity and renewal.
On the other, an eagle and the Hebrew “YHD”, marking Yehud — the ancient name for Judea.

It wasn’t just currency. It was identity minted into silver — proof of faith, culture, and local autonomy in a global empire.

From YHD to ETH — the story of value has always been about trust, belief, and community. @Hemi #Hemi $HEMI

📜 Ancient Gold Coin Discovery in Jerusalem Sheds Light on History

Archaeologists uncovered a tiny 2,220‑year‑old solid gold coin near the City of David in Jerusalem — one of only about 20 known coins of its type in the world and the first found outside Egypt.

🔎 The coin, minted around 246–241 BCE in Alexandria, depicts Queen Berenice II on one side and a cornucopia of abundance on the other, with a Greek inscription identifying her name.

The find suggests Jerusalem was more connected and prosperous during the Hellenistic period than previously thought, challenging old assumptions that the city was poor and isolated after historical sieges.
