publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 03:04 am Yes. This is a modern, crude imitation of a prutah of Alexander Jannaeus, made in large quantities for sale in Christian stores under the name of "Widow's Mite". Utterly worthless. If you open your mail regularly in the USA, one of them is bound to be gummed to a "charitable" solicitation. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 07:38 am Correct, it's a replica "Widow's Mite". Here's another more recent thread with one. Christian supplies stores sell them by the bagful, for a few dollars each, with the intention of giving them away to church congregations or Sunday School students as a physical reminder of the Biblical story - which is a shame, because for only a few dollars more, folks can go to a reputable ancient coins dealer and buy themselves a genuine widow's mite; FORVM, for example, will currently sell you two for US$16. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
