Judaea Hasmonean Kings (135-37 BC) Widow's Mite VG NGC (Vault)
Dating back to the ancient era of 135 to 37 BC, this bronze AE Prutah originates from Judaea under the rule of the Hasmonean Kings. Often referred to as a Widow's Mite, this small bronze issue represents a fascinating window into the everyday commerce of the ancient world, carrying immense cultural and historical resonance far beyond its modest physical size. The obverse of the coin features a design depicting cornucopias, a classic ancient symbol of abundance. On the reverse, ancient Hebrew text is framed neatly within a decorative laurel wreath. This specimen has survived over two millennia, preserving these distinct design elements in a state certified as Very Good.
