Gold Coins found in Syria with eXp 4000 metal detector
These gold coins belong to a treasure trove found in Syria, detected with the OKM eXp 4000 metal detector.

Deep within the ancient lands of Syria, a glittering secret lay buried beneath centuries of dust. More than 800 ancient coins — gold, silver, and bronze — were brought back to light with the help of the OKM eXp 4000 metal detector and 3D ground scanner. Their discovery tells a story that spans empires — from the reign of Greek kings to the dominion of Roman emperors, from the Byzantine faith to the pulse of Eastern trade.

Their value ranges from €150 to €8,000 per piece, but their true worth lies in the history they carry — the whispers of civilizations that once ruled the crossroads of the ancient world.

A Glimpse into the Heart of History

Dating from 280 BC to 320 AD, these ancient coins reflect a vivid mosaic of cultures that shaped Syria’s past. The collection contains Greek coins, Byzantine coins, and Roman coins — each one a messenger of its time. Forged in bronze, silver, and gold, these relics are not just remnants of trade; they are echoes of glory, faith, and artistry.

Faces of Power and Divinity

Each coin bears the face of a ruler or deity — frozen in metal, yet alive with symbolism. Roman coins depict Gaius Julius Caesar, the mighty imperator whose ambition reshaped the ancient world. Greek coins reveal Apollo, the radiant god of light, music, and prophecy — a symbol of balance and divine inspiration. On the Byzantine coins, the noble features of ancient Syrian kings emerge, linking faith and sovereignty across the ages.
