This is one of the few known coins minted in Jerusalem. This coin was minted in Bronze from the years of 104-76 BC. The Obverse Symbol is a Star Wheel Diadem with the message of “Yehontatan is King” in Hebrew. The Reverse has an Anchor with a Greek Inscription to commemorate the Ruler Jannaeus and his victory of many Mediterranean ports. The Christian world has come to know this coin because when Jesus witnessed a poor Jewish Widow with two Mites to her name, giving them to charity to help others he took note. This selfless act of goodness did not go unnoticed by Christ and inspired others to follow this path of kindness. | Item #: 5COIN 1049
