A very special collection of 12 genuine bronze coins from the land of Judea issued during the actual time of Christ’s life. Rich in historical and cultural significance, each coin in this magnificent collection offers a touchstone to the past – a time when Jesus Christ walked the earth and brought his message of peace to the people of Judea. Each authentic coin is protected in an archival capsule and beautifully displayed in a deluxe, custom-made hardwood case. The case features a rich, forest-green velour interior and a plaque inscribed with a list of the 12 coins, as well as a certificate of authenticity.
By the time Jesus was born coins had already been in use in the Holy Land for more than 400 years. There were many different types of bronze coins circulating together in Judea during the time Jesus lived. The bronze coin designs of this period feature a variety of designs such as olive wreaths, cornucopia, flowers, anchors, stars and palm branches. The legends were inscribed in Aramaic and Greek. As the Roman influence gained strength, they carried over some of these same design elements in their coins, while introducing other distinctly Roman elements as well.
