Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'You never work uselessly on medals, and the community of letters benefits greatly from your knowledge... With respect to Hebrew medals I would be very glad to know your opinion concerning Hebrew shekels, whether there exist any genuinely ancient ones where ancient Hebrew characters can be determined.' (translation from Minc 1985, p. 115)
