Summarium

Descriptio
English: Illustration of an Hebrew ancient coin from Athanasius Kircher's 1679 book Turris Babel; stated to be a reproduction of a coin seen in the collections of Francesco Gualdo (Francisci Gualdi), Francesco Angeloni (Francisci Angelomi), and of a D. Franz Gottifred (Francisci Gottifredi ). Both sides of the coin are shown.

The characters on the coin, supposed to be an ancient version of Hebrew script, are transcribed by Kircher in modern Hebrew as follows:
ירושלם קדושה שקל ישראל
translated in Latin as Israël siclus Sancta Jerusalem, "Shekel of Israel, Holy Jerusalem".

For more informations, please see page 215 of the book, and the whole Cap. VI§2 for an extensive discussion (in Latin).
