NGC cert. #6156673-372. Graded Fine; crudely struck as is typical for these coins. In a holder with a nice special label.
Obverse: anchor.
Reverse: star with eight rays.
This is a bronze prutah from ancient Judaea, struck under the authority of the Hasmonean king Alexander Jannaeus (103-76 BC).
These coins were still in circulation in the time of Jesus, and this type is widely considered to be the "Widow's Mite" of the biblical parables in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 21:1-4. The moral of these stories is that the poor widow who donated two of these humble, low-value coins to the temple treasury made a much greater sacrifice than the wealthier benefactors, because she gave all that she had to give.
Acquired at the 2025 FUN show in Orlando, Florida.
