Widow's Mite as spoken of by Jesus in the Bible.
Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans. So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood. (Mark 12: 41-44)
The phrase, Widow's Mite, comes from this passage above in Mark.
Widow's mite coins were minted by the kings of Israel known as the Hasmoneans. They ruled from 135 B.C. until the time of Herod.
Description:
A genuine 2000+ year old Jewish bronze coin of the type used by Jesus as an illustration of the way God looks at giving as recorded in the gospels of Luke and Mark chapters 21 and 12 respectively. Jesus observed a very poor widow placing two of these tiny coins into the temple treasury and said that she actually gave MORE than all of the other givers combined. The rich people poured in vast amounts of wealth to be seen and applauded my observers. Jesus stated that while the rich gave only a tiny portion from their vast wealth she gave all she had to live on and trusted God for her provision. Jesus was teaching that God measures giving not by the amount but by the intentions.
The price is for one coin
