▍原文

Two Israeli teenagers on summer break unearthed a trove of hundreds of gold coins that date from 1,100 years ago.

The hoard, buried in a clay jar, was discovered at an archaeological dig in central Israel.

The teenagers, who were taking part in pre-military national service, initially thought they had found some very thin leaves buried in a jar.
