This 103-76 B.C.E. Widow's Mite Biblical Coin Pendant brings to life the humble yet powerful story of the widow’s offering as told in the Book of Mark 12:41-44. The Widow’s Mite was the smallest denomination coin in circulation during the time of Christ, with a value of only 1/400th of a silver shekel. Despite their small value, these coins carry enormous spiritual significance, representing faith, sacrifice, and devotion. The pendant, about the size of a quarter, showcases a piece of history tied to the teachings of Jesus.
On the obverse, the coin features a star of eight pellets, also known as a sun wheel, surrounded by a diadem—an ancient symbol of divine power. The reverse side displays an upside-down anchor within a circle, symbolizing hope and stability.
Encased in a 14K gold cross setting, this piece transforms the modest Widow’s Mite into a stunning symbol of faith. This pendant serves as both a wearable piece of biblical history and a reminder of the enduring power of devotion, making it a cherished addition to any collection.
