WIDOW'S MITE SQUARE POLISHED COIN RING WITH EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY COIN 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 issued by Alexander Jannaeus. These coins feature various designs including anchors, stars, cornucopias, lily flowers and a palm branch. 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.'" NOTE: We use only the highest grade GUARANTEED GENUINE coins available unlike most others' widows mite coin jewelry where the coin used is either a very poor quality issue or a reproduction (in many cases sold as 'genuine'). We hand select every widows mite coin we use out of hundreds of examples direct from the prospectors that find them. The above photo is the actual item that will be shipped. There is another category for this ring style but due to the very rare and higher than usual quality for this coin, I felt it deserved a specific photo of the coin used. This rich high-polished 14KY gold ring wonderfully showcases a GENUINE ancient widows mite coin of the finest quality. Equally at home on a woman's or man's hand, the design is unisex and very classy. A rich presentation of authentic Biblical history! Special note: This coin ring is a CATEGORY and while the mountings will all look exactly as pictured above, the widows mite coins will vary in appearance but all will be premium grade, hand-selected examples, not the poor commercial quality types usually used by others. Overall width of ring face is 17.5 mm. COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY / HISTORY SHEET CPBC005 $895 ACTUAL ITEM SHOWN SPECIAL NOTE: DUE TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF GETTING THE EXACT FITTING RING SIZE, THIS RING WILL BE SHIPPED TO YOU IN APPROXIMATELY A SIZE 7. YOUR LOCAL JEWELER CAN ADJUST ACCORDINGLY FOR A MODEST CHARGE. |
