From the article:

The hiker, Laurie Rimon, happened upon the shiny coin on a recent walk in Israel's eastern Galilee region. The authority said she will receive a certificate of appreciation for handing over the coin.

A certificate of appreciation? How cheap can you be? At least give her a modern gold coin of the same weight.

One late afternoon last summer my daughter and I were searching for sea glass on the beach at Binz, on Rugen Island when I found a 1968 East German pfennig (penny). The pfennig was lying in the wet sand right near the water. :)
