A recent archeological find has uncovered coins from ancient Egypt’s Hyksos dynasty that contain the image and name of Joseph, the biblical patriarch. The news appeared in an article in the Egyptian newspaper, Al-Ahram:

“Joseph’s name appears twice on this coin, written in hieroglyphs: once the original name, Joseph, and once his Egyptian name, Saba Sabani, which was given to him by Pharaoh when he became treasurer. There is also an image of Joseph, who was part of the Egyptian administration at the time.”
