Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. 103 - 76 B.C. Because these leptons, or prutah, were the lowest denomination coin that circulated in Jerusalem during Christ's lifetime, they are believed to be the coins referred to in the Biblical story of the poor widow. These coins were carelessly and crudely struck, usually off center and on small flans.
Legends are generally unreadable.
Each coin will be shipped with a certificate of authenticity. Over 2000 years old and Biblically significant.
