Judaea Hasmonean AE Prutah – Biblical Widow's Mite – 135–37 BC – NGC Certified

A scarce ancient bronze prutah from Judaea's Hasmonean period, struck during the final years of Jewish independence before Roman conquest. This historically significant coin is the legendary "widow's mite" referenced in biblical accounts, representing one of the smallest denominations of antiquity.

Graded and certified by NGC, this piece showcases authentic patina and wear consistent with its age. The obverse typically features a wreath or anchor symbol, while the reverse bears Greek inscriptions identifying the issuer—hallmarks of Hasmonean coinage under John Hyrcanus II or his successors.

A tangible connection to ancient Levantine history and biblical narrative, ideal for collectors of world ancient coins, religious artifacts, and numismatic rarities. Each certified example varies slightly in strike quality and preservation, making individual specimens collectible in their own right.
