It is generally accepted that the first ancient coins were struck in Ephesus, Lydia, a part of Asia Minor around 700 B.C. It is also known that coins appeared in India sometime around the 6th century B.C. Since those times, coins have been a means of exchange to acquire goods or settle debts in most of the world. Ancient coins are generally classified as coins that were struck prior to medieval times. Those that were issued prior to medieval times include coinage from the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, China, India, Persia and Greece, as well as other lesser civilizations. At Black Mountain Coins you will find examples of coins that were struck 2000 years ago for a very reasonable price.

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.
