“Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders…”(Matt 26:15)
Coins were first introduced in the seventh century BC, an innovation in ancient society that allowed the government to establish a unified standard of currency that could be recognized internationally. Taxes, goods and services could be paid for in recognized units of gold, silver, bronze or copper, rather than through barter or trade. By the Roman era, coins were widely used in the Holy Land, and their history is now well established. Archaeologists consistently use coins to help date excavations Included in this set are thirty of the coins that play an important role in the Gospels.
The Certificate of Authenticity you will receive states: “These coins were struck from exact dies made through advanced laser technology from genuine coins discovered in Jerusalem.
