This article analyses a hoard recently found during irregular excavations in the Gaza Strip or along the coast of Egyptian Sinai. The hoard includes 61 solidi issued from Focas to Constantine IV as well as 1 tremissis of Constantine IV, minted between 603 and 674. The hoard had been probably deposited towards the end of the reign of Constantine IV (681) and testifies to the availability of Byzantine gold coins in Palestinian monetary circulation in the 2nd half of the 7th century, under Umayyad rule.
