This coin is NOT a replica, but an actual bronze coin minted in the Holy Land over 2000 years ago during the reign of King Alexander Jannaeus in the century preceeding the birth of Christ. What makes this piece of historical and religious significance is that it is mentioned twice in the Bible when Jesus told the story of the widow who gave all she had (Mark 12:41 and Luke 21:1). This item would make a great gift for your pastor or priest and comes in a presentation folder with a Certificate of Authenticity.
