Why This Coin Matters

Alexander Jannaeus ruled Judaea as both High Priest and King during one of the Hasmonean dynasty's most powerful periods. The small bronze prutah he minted was the everyday currency of common people — the poorest denomination in circulation, passing through the hands of merchants, farmers, and worshippers at the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

According to the Gospel account, a poor widow placed two such coins into the Temple treasury. Jesus, watching nearby, told his disciples that her offering surpassed all others — because she gave everything she had. That moment, recorded in Mark 12:41–44 and Luke 21:1–4, transformed this humble bronze into one of the most recognized symbols of faith and devotion in the New Testament.

This is not a coin of wealth or grandeur. It is a coin of sacrifice — small in size, enormous in meaning. Certified by NGC, it is a genuine artifact from the world of the Second Temple, in your hands today.

• Biblical history and Christian faith collectors
