This 103-76 B.C.E. Widow's Mite Biblical Coin Pendant, beautifully set in handcrafted 14K gold, draws upon one of the most poignant stories in the Bible—Jesus’ praise of the poor widow who gave all she had, two small coins, to the temple treasury. Mentioned in Mark 12:41-44, these coins, known as Widow’s Mites, were the smallest denomination in circulation in the Holy Lands during the time of Christ. Though they held little monetary value, they symbolized the depth of personal sacrifice and faith. The coin itself, smaller than a dime, reflects the humility of its origins, with its off-center designs and worn surface speaking to centuries of history.
On the obverse, the coin features a striking sun wheel—a star of eight pellets encircled by a diadem, a symbol of divine protection and authority. The reverse side shows an upside-down anchor within a circle, a classic image of hope and stability in the turbulent ancient world.
Encased in an elegant 14K gold setting, this pendant transforms an ancient artifact into a stunning piece of wearable history. A timeless symbol of faith, humility, and personal sacrifice, this unique pendant is not just jewelry but a meaningful reminder of the biblical legacy it represents.
