N2 - The Jeselsohn Collection (also known as the David and Jemima Jeselsohn Collection and hereafter JC) of coins of the Holy Land requires geographic and chronological definition. Geographically the collection covers the area from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Arabian Desert in the east, and from the Red Sea and the Sinai Peninsula in the south to a line in the north stretching from Akko in the west to the slopes of Mount Hermon and on to the Arabian Desert south of Damascus in the east. * The name of the area and its sub-divisions have changed numerous times during its long history (Yehuda, Judaea, Palaestina, Bilād al-Shā m, Israel, to name just a few), so I have decided to put it all under the name of “Holy Land,” in order to emphasize the historical, religious and cultural importance of this region, especially for Western civilization. Still, other names of this area might be found throughout the four volumes of the collection. Chronologically the collection covers the period starting from the beginning of coin minting in this area in the second half of the fifth century BCE, slightly after 450 BCE, until the end of the thirteenth century, dated for the sake of convenience to 1291 CE when the city of Akko/Acre, the last stronghold of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, was captured by the Mamluks. Thereafter, during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods, coins were no longer minted in the area. The British Mandate authorities minted coins for Palestine in Britain with the inscription “Palestine – Eretz Israel” from 1927 to 1946 CE. Minting of coins in the area began again only when the State of Israel was founded in 1948 CE. One can therefore say that the JC covers all the minting activity in the area over 2,400 years, from about 450 BCE to 1948 CE. Volume I, the current volume, covers the Persian and Early Hellenistic Coinage, i.e. from the Persian (Achaemenid) and early Hellenistic (Ptolemaic and Seleucid) periods, roughly 450 to 250 BCE, as well as three Hacksilber and jewelry hoards and varia. This includes the coinage of Philistia, Samaria, Judah and possibly Dor and Edom. -- from the Foreword
