1 lepton - The Widow's Mite
This "Widow's Mite" bronze lepton was issued by Hasmonean King of Judea, Alexander Jannaeus (103-76BC). It sirculated in the Holy Land during Jesus' life.
What makes this coin of great historical and religious importance is its two references in the Bible, in the books of Mark and Luke, which relate Jesus observation of a poor widow's exceptional charity. This coin is identical to the once she have had. They have been known to collectors of hundreds of years as "Widow's Mite"
