The coin is real, but from about 1000 AD. See links in this thread.
About what you describe, I think the farther back we go, the more speculative it becomes. About discoveries near Israel, I think the question is usually how it relates to the biblical record, which is always of interest to a lot of people.

Not necessarily of birth, but of upbringing (youth) or residence (adult life). So, for example, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but is known as Jesus of Nazareth because his parents moved there when he was young. After his birth, Joseph "went and lived in a town called Nazareth", https://biblehub.com/matthew/2.htm#19.
