WIDOW'S MITE ANCHOR COIN PENDANT IN TRIANGULAR DROP SETTING IN 14K YELLOW GOLD 1ST CENTURY B.C. One of the most popular ancient Biblical coins has its roots in New Testament history. It is the wonderful story that surrounds the "widow's mite" coin. The widow's mite was the lowest denomination coin circulating during the time of Christ, the small bronze prutahs and leptons issued by Alexander Jannaeus. These coins feature various designs including anchors, stars, cornucopias, lily flowers and a palm branch. This unique pendant design wonderfully frames an extremely rare high grade, collector-quality bronze lepton featuring an exquisite anchor symbol. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Unlike the other jewelry items in the Biblical Coin Jewelry category, it is the specific actual item for sale and the only one like it. While most of these Widows mites anchor coins are illegible and horribly made, it is super rare to have one of this quality hence my decision to make a unique piece out of this coin. The open drop triangular setting makes for a very attractive compliment to the theme of the coin as the pendant itself, resembles the abstract outline of the anchor's geometry. This high polished 14K yellow gold frame beautifully showcases a GENUINE ancient widow's mite of the finest quality and makes for a unique and rich presentation of authentic Biblical history. In describing an incident that involved Jesus, the disciple Mark wrote, "He sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the treasury, and many of the rich put in a great amount. A poor widow came and put in two small coins, the equivalent of a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, 'In truth I tell you, this poor widow has put more in than all who have contributed to the treasury for they have put in money then could spare but she, in her poverty, has put in everything she possessed, all she had to live on.'" Overall dimensions are 32 mm high by 21 mm wide. COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY / HISTORY SHEET CPBC004 SOLD ACTUAL ITEM - ONE ONLY *** shown with optional CHAIN B, not included |
