Because these coins were struck in large quantities and circulated for so long, they became the top candidate for the Widow's Mite of Mark 12:41-44. These coins were crudely made and a typical Fine will show 60-80% of its intended detail. Early Judaean bronzes are generally not collected for their aesthetic appeal but for their historical and religious significance.
