It's said to be one of the largest gold treasures ever to be discovered in the country.

(Israel)—One of the largest gold treasures ever to be discovered in Israel was unearthed in early July near Herzliya.

According to an Israel National News report, the horde of gold, consisting of over 100 coins, was found hidden in a partly broken pottery vessel at the Appollonia National Park, where archaeologists say the former Crusader town of Apollonia-Arsuf once thrived. The fortress where they were found buried has been under excavation for more than 30 years. (Photo: Flash 90)

Archaeologists also discovered many items related to the Crusades, and believe the coins were deliberately hidden by someone intent on returning later to retrieve them.

According to the Biblical Archaeological Society, the battle, which caused the person to hide the coins was identified as the Battle of Arsuf between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart.
