Widow's Mite Coin With Earth from the Holy Land

Rarely will you find something as special or as significant as this genuine 2,000-year-old "Widow's Mite" coin.  Dating from the time of Jesus, it comes displayed in a presentation folder with a history of the coin, a Certificate of Authenticity and a sample of genuine, actual earth from the Holy Land. Few collectors have ever seen a genuine Widow’s Mite coin, the story of which is told in Mark 12:41-44: Jesus observed people giving money to the treasury and noted that a poor widow who gave two small bronze coins known as "mites" was more generous than the rich men who gave more valuable coins: "she...did cast in all that she had, even all her living," whereas rich men gave just a fraction of their wealth. Struck-by-hand by skilled craftsmen, these genuine and historic solid bronze artifacts from the biblical era were recently discovered in a secret hoard in the Holy Land.

Hoards were often buried or hidden, because there were few safe places to keep money, especially during the Roman occupation of Judea in the early 1st century A.D. Only recently, with archaeological explorations and high-tech research, have some of these hoards been found. The coin was struck by Alexander Janna and other Macarena Kings.

One side shows the king's name and an anchor, while the other side depicts an 8-rayed star. Most of these coins were destroyed 2,000 years ago to make new coins or to be melted for their metal content. The few remaining coins have been untouched for 2,000 years and are of museum quality and 100% legal to own. This is a superb treasure from the past that will be cherished now and for generations to come.
