This authentic bronze coin actually circulated during the Bibl ical time of the New Testament, 100 B.C. - 60 A.D. The smallest of all Roman coins, its Biblical name comes from the story in Mark 12:41-44 when Jesus praised a poor widow for giving all she had - her last two coins - while rich townspeople gave only a small portion of their wealth.
