The most popular coins are the bronze Widow’s Mite Lepton and Prutah coins which were minted under King and High Priest Alexander Jannaeus from 103-76BC. Also from the same period were the Cornucopias prutahs of King John Hyrnicus. Leading into the time of Christ, we see the popular silver tetradrachm Shekel of Tyre with the image of Melqart, also referred to as Hercules. These were the Temple Tax coins paid to Judas Iscariot who betrayed Christ for the thirty 30 pieces of silver.

If you or someone you know like jewelry, many widow's mite coins have been mounted in your choice of silver or gold pendants. Chains and olive wood presentation boxes are also available.

Remember the story of the Tribute Penny when Christ was asked about paying taxes to Caesar? His response was to see a denarius. The image on that silver coin would have been of Caesar Tiberius or Augustus. Biblicalmites offers for sale a very nice selection of Biblical era silver denarius coins.

A significant variety of bronze prutah coins were minted by Herod the Great, the other Herods, and the various Judean Roman governors, including Pontius Pilate, Felix and Festus.

The Jews minted their own currency known as Jewish Revolt Coins or Jewish War Coins during the three and a half years leading up to the destruction of the Temple. The Jews again minted their own currency during the Bar Kokhba Revolt (also known as Bar Kochba Revolt) in 132-135 AD. Biblicalmites is pleased to offer a few of these coins as well.

Finally, after 300 years of Christianity being an outlawed religion, the Emperor Constantine the Great legalized Christianity. He ruled for 30 years minting a variety of coins.
