The Widow’s Mite coin, also known as the prutah, was a small bronze coin used in Judaea during the late Hasmonean period and into the Roman era. Its name derives from the New Testament story where Jesus observes a poor widow donating her two small coins (mites) to the temple treasury, offering her all despite her poverty. The coin is a symbol of sacrifice and faith, often used to inspire and remind us of the value of giving, regardless of wealth.
The design of the coin typically features simple symbols, such as wheat sheaves or an anchor, representing agricultural prosperity and maritime connections in Judaea. This particular coin encapsulates a moment of history intertwined with religious significance.
