So, this was all supposed to be mere representational imagery about broad classes of people, or Hebrew tribes.
Now we find the representational imagery struck coins and spelled his name in two languages.
Hmmmm ~ sounds like at least one of the Patriarchs was a real flesh and blood man.

Hey wait a minute.
Q'uran (please note my attempt at politically correct and sensitive spelling) wasn't on the Amazon shelves until many thousands of years after Joseph and the Pharaohs.
In fact, if Muhammed (May Peace Be Upon Him) had been around when Joseph was, it wouldn't have been Joe coming out of the caravan raid in a coat of many colors, it would have been Moe.
I scent the effluvia of many camels in this report

If everything Mohammed borrowed from Christianity and Judaism were taken out of the Koran, there would be little left.

They are referencing the Koran in that it states that the ancient Egyptians used coins for trade although many scholars did not believe that coins were used at that time............

Where's more proof that the coin shows the name of "Joseph"?
If we can get some corroborating proof, this is an amazing find.

Sorry Red Badger, not that Cow.

Come on Badger!
This has gotta be a Muzzie rehash of the old joke about the archaeologist finding Roman Coins dated 100 BC! Of course the ancient Gippos used coins. They even had coin operated devices in their temples. Flipped change to kids holding the horse. Used coins as screwdrivers. Put shiny ones in their loafers.
I do have it on good authority, however, that they did not use them in fuseboxes, as that would be a FIRE HAZARD.

Where's more proof that the coin shows the name of "Joseph"? Yeah, that's why I want to see a better picture of that and the other coin and to see if they are Not Faked.

The earliest coins are believed to have been minted around 600 B.C. in western Asia Minor. Before that gold and silver were considered precious metals but you’d have to weigh pieces of gold or silver in each transaction, and hope they weren’t gold and silver plating over a cheaper metal. 600 B.C. is many centuries after Joseph.

Very interesting.
More evidence the BIBLE is true, and the GOD of Israel is who he says he is, the one and only true God.
PSALM 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
