Description: This is a rare and genuine ancient Prutah coin, dating back to between 150 BC to 17 AD. The coin is a biblical “widows mite” and is ungraded. (See photos) Widow's mite" is an expression that refers to a small, voluntary contribution that is all someone can afford. For example, "gave his widow's mite to the cause". The term comes from the Bible story in Mark 12:42 of a poor widow who gives two mites, or leptons, to the Temple treasury. A lepton was a Jewish coin that was the smallest used during New Testament times, worth about 1/8 of a cent today. The widow's gift was a proportionally much larger sacrifice than the gifts of the rich, and Jesus tells his disciples that she has given more than all the others. This historical period Roman coin is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its rarity and unique features make it a valuable addition to any collection. Own this great ancient piece of history today. 2086
