Collection: Biblical - Judaean

Few collecting categories carry the personal meaning of Biblical and Judaean coins. These are the coins that circulated in the Holy Land during the time of the Old and New Testaments — the same currency handled by the people, rulers, and figures described in Scripture. Owning one is not just collecting history. For many, it is a tangible connection to faith.

The widow's mite — a tiny bronze prutah struck under Alexander Jannaeus around 80 BC — is the most recognized Biblical coin, referenced directly in the Gospels of Mark and Luke. Coins of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect who presided over the trial of Jesus, were struck between 26 and 36 AD and remain available to collectors today. Coins of Herod the Great and his successors document the Herodian dynasty across the period of the New Testament.

This collection features authentic ancient coins from Judaea, the wider Biblical world, and the Jewish kingdoms of the Second Temple period. Pieces range from affordable bronze prutahs to rarer silver from the Jewish Revolts. Many examples are NGC certified for guaranteed authenticity.

Whether you collect for historical, personal, or spiritual reasons, these coins offer something no reproduction can — genuine ancient metal from the world described in the Bible. Browse the collection and find your connection to the ancient Holy Land.
