The author presents the South Arabian holdings of three museums in Israel, forty‐eight coins in all. The coins comprise one Qatabanian coin and several coins each of three very common Himyarite and Sabaean types (two issues of ‘Amdân Bayyin Yuhaqbid, kingdom of Saba’ and dhû Raydân, and various coins of the Sabaean Bucranium series). The paper gives the opportunity to make some remarks on South Arabian Coinage.
