These coins were the smallest coins circulated in Jerusalem, and were still in use at the time of Jesus. In the New Testament, Mark 12:41-44, Jesus tells the rich men of the temple that though they gave of their wealth, the widow gave her only two mites – a true gift of the heart.
All coins are genuine ancient artifacts and will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
