Judaea Widow’s Mite – Bronze Coin from the Time of Christ
Step into the biblical world with an authentic Widow’s Mite—a small bronze coin that once passed through the hands of ancient Judeans over 2,000 years ago. Struck during the reign of Alexander Jannaeus (103–76 B.C.), this coin would have remained in circulation well into the lifetime of Jesus Christ.
- Genuine bronze Widow’s Mite from ancient Judaea
- Originally featured a radiant sun wtihin a circle on the front, and a votive object on the reverse, but centuries of use have worn away the details
- Featured in the New Testament (Mark 12:41–44) as the “two mites” given by the poor widow — offering profound historical and spiritual significance
These humble coins are among the most tangible artifacts connecting modern hands to the world of the Bible. Worn from ages of use but rich in meaning, the Widow’s Mite is a powerful symbol of faith, sacrifice, and enduring history.
