Judaea Widow's Mite Hasmonean Kings (135-37 BC) NGC VG
Dating from 135 to 37 BC, this ancient bronze Prutah from Judaea represents a tangible connection to antiquity. Often referred to as a Widow's Mite, this humble denomination circulated widely in the region during the lifetime of Christ. Its presence in daily life is immortalized in biblical passages, specifically within the narratives of Mark 12:41 to 44 and Luke 21:1 to 4, which highlight the profound significance of a modest offering. The physical design of this small bronze piece features an anchor surrounded by pellets on the obverse side. On the reverse, a central star design is depicted. This specific coin has survived over two millennia and has been officially certified in Very Good condition, preserving its simple yet historically significant imagery for modern observers to study and appreciate.
