The famous \"Widow\'s Mite\", Judean bronzeJudaea Prutahof King Janeaus, minted ca. 100 BC. Mentioned in New Testament books, Mark and Luke, in the famous parable about a poor widow praised by Jesus for her charitable contribution of \"two mites...all she had\".

Twice in the Gospels, in Luke and Mark, we hear the Parable of the Widow’s Mites—a tale of charity andhumility told by Jesus in the last days of His life.After three years of itinerant preaching in the lesser cities of Galilee and Judea, Jesus has brought HisMinistry to the City of David. Once arrived in Jerusalem, the hub of Jewish life and the capital of theRoman province of Palestine, there will be no turning back. In a week’s time, He will be crucified.Jesus is preaching in the Temple, which represents both the city’s religious center and its businessdistrict. On the Temple grounds, goods are bought and sold, money is changed, and taxes are paid. Jesuswatches rich men in flowing gowns put pieces of silver into the treasury—generous offerings to theTemple. Then he watches a woman, a certain widow, deposit two “mites” into the till. He observes that“this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; for they all put in out oftheir abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.” (Mark 12:41-44).The parable, repeated in Luke 21:1-4, is understood to both extol the virtues of charity and impugn thevices of avarice. As Jesus remarks in Matthew 19:24, “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of aneedle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”Mite is the 1611 King James translation for the Greek λεπτον, or lepton. The “widow’s mites” mentioned inthe Scriptures are thought to have be either leptons or perhaps similar, slightly larger variations calledprutahs. These tiny bronze coins were the smallest and lowest denominations that circulated throughoutthe Holy Land during the lifetime of Jesus Christ.The most common of these types were struck during the reign of Alexander Jannaeus, one of the lastJewish kings before the Roman annexation of Judaea. Most leptons and prutahs were very crudely made,usually off center on irregular flans. The resulting coins frequently show minimal imagery. Both theleptons and prutahs are called star-anchor types; one or both sides will often show partial images of ananchor and/or a six or eight-pointed star. The anchor design was adopted from the Seleucids, who used itto symbolize their naval power. The star, with or without a surrounding circular diadem, symbolizesHeaven.The actual size, shape and weight of these coins vary widely, the smallest being not much larger than apencil eraser. The value of the coins was based on combined weight with other coins and not on anindividual basis.
