| Additional information |
The Cardo Maximus was the principal north-south street of Roman Jerusalem — colonnade remnants are still visible today in the Jewish Quarter — and this coin belongs to Israel's long-running series commemorating archaeological sites and artifacts across the country. The series has been issued across multiple decades and consistently uses fine gold to underscore the institutional weight the Bank of Israel places on archaeological heritage as a subject for numismatic commemoration.
KM#565 places this squarely in the modern Israeli commemorative catalog, where mintages are typically small and collector-focused from the outset.
