Libya’s Department of Antiquities in Benghazi has announced the discovery of 24 ancient copper and bronze coins in an archaeological site located in the western part of the city.

According to a statement issued by the department, researcher Jalal Al-Obaidi from the Technical Affairs Division was responsible for cleaning and categorising the coins based on weight and type. He also examined the inscriptions and engravings on both sides of the coins, helping determine their features and historical periods.

Out of the total, 12 coins were found in good condition, with clearly visible details that allow for further analysis and study. These well-preserved pieces are considered a significant addition to the department’s collection of archaeological artefacts.

The department emphasised the cultural and historical value of such discoveries, which shed light on the region’s ancient trade and monetary systems. The coins are believed to date back to different historical periods, possibly spanning Roman or Greek eras, though official dating is still under way.

This discovery adds to a series of recent archaeological finds across eastern Libya, where experts continue to work in challenging conditions to document and preserve the country’s rich heritage. Despite ongoing security and economic challenges, Libya’s archaeologists remain committed to protecting historical treasures for future generations.
