Good afternoon
I want to upload the token, shown below, but without a translation of the text, it makes it difficult to find in future. Can someone please help with the translation.
Thanks

Your token is a representation of a Hebrew ancient coin, with an
illustration on that page from the 1679 book Turris Babel by Athanasius Kircher.
The characters on the coin, supposed to be an ancient version of Hebrew script,
are transcribed by Kircher in modern Hebrew as follows: ירושלם קדושה
שקל ישראל translated in Latin as Israël Siclus Sancta Jerusalem, "Shekel of Israel, Holy Jerusalem".

Could be: ירושלים הקדושה instead.
still the same translation, hopefully.
