Crafted by the Perth Mint in Australia, this modern gold coin blends ancient spiritual themes with contemporary minting excellence. Struck in 0.9999 fine gold, the piece weighs 2.85 grams, which is equivalent to 0.09167 troy ounces of pure metal. It is part of a series dedicated to inspirational biblical heroes and heritage, presenting a thoughtful theme for those who appreciate sacred history. The coin features a denomination of 1/4 Shekel, a nod to ancient currency systems. Its design incorporates a prominent inscription from the Book of Proverbs, specifically Proverbs 8 to 10, which reads: "RECEIVE MY INSTRUCTION, AND NOT SILVER AND KNOWLEDGE RATHER THAN CHOICE GOLD."
