Judaean Æ Widow Mites are perhaps the most sought-after Biblical coins of all time. They take their name from the Biblical lesson that Jesus makes there at the Temple.

The bronze mite, also known as a Lepton (meaning small), was first minted by Alexander Jannaeus, King of Judaea, (103-76 BC), and was still in circulation at the time of Jesus. The Lesson of the widow’s mite was presented in the Synoptic Gospels (Mark 12:41-44, Luke 21:1-4), in which Jesus was teaching at the Temple in Jerusalem. The Gospel of Mark specifies that two mites (Greek lepta) are together worth a quadrans, the smallest Roman coin. A lepton was the smallest and least valuable coin in circulation in Judea, worth about six minutes of an average daily wage.
