Relive The Lesson Of The Widow’s Mite

The Widow’s Mite is perhaps the most fascinating of the New Testament coins. The “mite” or “prutah” was the smallest of the bronze and copper coins of the Jews and are frequently mentioned in the New Testament manuscripts. The most famous text from Mark 12:41-44 reads:

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you; this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything — all she had to live on.”

Struck In The Holy Land More Than 2,000 Years Ago

Struck in Judea and circulated during the time Jesus and the Apostles trod the Holy Lands’ dusty paths, this copper widow’s mite is more than 2,000 years old! In fact, every coin in this offer could have actually passed through the hands of the Apostles and the first Christians. That’s why widow’s mites from the time of Jesus and the Apostles are one of the most sought-after ancient treasures of all time. Not only do collectors covet them, but the world's most important museums display them in their permanent collections. Their significance cannot be underestimated.
