One of the most renowned coins of the history of mankind This 2000-year-old authentic 1 Lepton coin from the Holy Land (Judea) is to be found in one of the best-known stories of the Bible.

At the time of Christ, the Lepton was instrument of payment and corresponded to the term “Widow’s Mite”, which was quoted in the New Testament according to Mark and Luke.

In the story, a desperately poor widow sacrifices 2 Mites (means Lepton) in a temple, even though this was all she possessed. For this highly valued deed she was praised by Jesus.
