Israeli Group Mints 'Temple Coin' Pairing Trump With King Cyrus

The Jerusalem-based Mikdash Educational Center announced a commemorative "Temple Coin" featuring Donald Trump alongside the Persian king Cyrus, who allowed the Jews to return from exile and rebuild the Temple. Newsweek, citing the Associated Press, said 1,000 coins would be minted to honour Trump's Jerusalem decision. Temple activists cast the embassy move in the language of Cyrus, whose decree led to the Second Temple.
