Widow’s Mite Biblical Days Coin
Origin: Ancient
Date Issued: 100 B.C. – 100
Metal: Bronze
Thank you JESUS! The “Widow’s Mite” has become the most famous coin from Biblical days. In the parable, Jesus praised a poor destitute widow who donated her entire worldly possessions – two bronze mites – to the treasury.
The Lord Jesus told his disciples that the widow – who had given all her money – was actually more generous than wealthy people who only gave their pocket change. Now, almost 2,000 years later, you can own a hand-selected ancient bronze coin from Biblical days.
The parable in the Book of Mark, the “Widow’s Mite”
Mar 12:42 Then a destitute widow came and dropped in two small copper coins, worth about a cent.
Mar 12:43 He called his disciples and said to them, "Truly I tell you, this destitute widow has dropped in more than all of those who are contributing to the offering box.
Mar 12:44 For all of them contributed out of their surplus, but she, in her poverty, has dropped in everything she had to live on."
