Hello my friends and welcome to my video about the ancient biblical tribute penny coins. Let me first tell you a little bit of who I am. My name is Ilya Zloben. I'm an expert enthusiast in dealer in ancient coin. My set is trusted coins.com and let's just get right into it. Okay, so let's first read the passage from the Bible from the King James Version. Then went the Pharisees and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians saying master we know that thou are true and teaches the way of God in truth. Neither carest thou for any man for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore what thinketh thou is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar or not. But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said why tempt ye me, Ye hypocrites? Show me that show me their tribute money and they brought unto him a penny. And he said unto them who is the image and super-scription. They say unto them Caesar's then said he unto them render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's. When they had heard these words they marbled and left them and went their way. So this is a very famous passage from the King James Bible and basically it shows a scene where Jesus Christ was confronted by agents to try to get them to say whether you should be paying tribute to Caesar which is the taxes to Caesar. And Jesus replied, you know, render unto Caesar, all the Caesar's and render unto God, all that is God. So basically put, I have here the two most likely types that actually were you know talked about in the Bible. So because this is a translation from the Greek Greek version, the King James version was, it talked about the tribute, the penny. The penny pretty much means it's a silver coin and the only standard coin is that Romans really issued were the silver denarius coins. And therefore why the Augustus silver denarius coins. See, this coin is in Min State. So what I'm showing you is an example in perfect state of preservation. So we have the Augustus coin with the Gaia's and Lucius Revers. The reason why the Augustus coin could be one of the two types along with the Tiberius coin is that it's commonality there. That it was mostly, it's like based on the research that it's 10 times more prevalent in that area of Jerusalem where Jesus would have been confronted by this coinage. So if a coin was more common, then it logically speaking, then it's possible that Jesus was confronted by that time. And Augustus lived all the way up until 14 AD. So it is possible that, you know, that his coinage was still circulating because his coinage was huge. And you know, they had the troops to pay, they had the trade going on. So this Augustus coin is, and Gaia's and Lucius were one of the two likely errors, both of which died really early. There is a story that it possibly was because of his wife, Livia, if you watch the show called Ichlorius, I think it's available on YouTube. You could actually find out the reason, but nobody really, you know, truly knows. But it's unfortunate that these two grandsons of Augustus wound up, were nephews wound up dying early. But it turned out that actually not the biological son of Augustus, but the son of Augustus's wife, Livia, Tiberius was the one that actually inherited the empire from Augustus on his death. So that's kind of interesting. And on the back, he features his mother, Livia. Augustus actually started putting Livia on one of his coins before him. So he kind of just copied it. So basically put, if you read this passage, it talks about a silver Roman coin that had the word Caesar. So whose name superscription is written here. We have the word Caesar. Caesar, so DV Augustus. So basically, they, the Roman emperors, what they would do is they would inherit. Caesar became actually a title for prints. So when, when somebody became a Caesar, he became a prince in the Roman Empire. And Augustus became the official emperor title. So, a stunning from the first Roman emperors. So basically put, these are the two different biblical tribute penny types. And you could also see this same, same concept, explain in the Wikipedia article that you could check, you know, render a Caesar or tribute penny coins. And these coins are incidentally available for sale. I have them up on eBay. This condition is extremely fantastic. Mint state. And choice, say you, choice, say you, the only next step after this is mint state. So look at the look at that portrait of, so it's a, it's almost like, you see how beautiful the preservation of such a coin is? Most coins don't survive in such a beautiful style and presentation. So when I, when I was able to get these two pieces together as they're very popular, I decided to make this video to show you guys. But they're easily found these two exact coins. If you search an eBay for I, the letter I, 7241 and I, 72400 for the type of your use coin, you'll be able to see both of them. Or you could search on eBay for the word render, render, and then Caesar, maybe coin. And you should be able to see any of the coins that I have listed up regarding this topic.
