Frequently Asked Questions
Are Biblical coins real ancient coins or reproductions?
Every Biblical coin in our collection is a genuine ancient artifact, authenticated and certified by NGC Ancients. These are real coins from the Holy Land — silver Shekels of Tyre, Widow's Mites, Roman denarii — that are over 2,000 years old and come encapsulated in tamper-evident holders.
What is the Widow's Mite mentioned in the Bible?
The Widow's Mite, referenced in the Gospels of Mark and Luke, is a small bronze coin (a lepton or prutah) minted during the Hasmonean dynasty. Jesus observed a poor widow donate two of these tiny coins, saying she gave more than all the wealthy donors. We offer authenticated examples of this profound artifact.
Were the 'thirty pieces of silver' real coins?
Yes — the thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas are believed to have been Tyrian Shekels, the standard Temple currency of the time. These silver coins circulated widely in the Holy Land and are among the most sought-after Biblical coins by collectors who value the intersection of faith and history.
Are Biblical coins appropriate as religious gifts?
Biblical coins are among our most popular gift items for confirmations, baptisms, holidays, and milestone occasions. Holding a genuine coin from the time of Christ — authenticated by NGC Ancients — is a profound and tangible connection to Scripture that transcends typical gift-giving.
