| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts an anchor (or yoke) inverted, with a cross-like finial at the top and bifurcated flukes at the base, occupying the majority of the field. The design is surrounded by a continuous dotted border. Paleo-Hebrew (or pseudo-Aramaic) inscriptions are distributed around the central motif in the field, consistent with the style of Hasmonean-era lepton coinage. The overall design faithfully replicates the type associated with Alexander Jannaeus (103–76 BCE), the most commonly cited prototype for the so-called Widow's Mite. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Widow's Mite" designation comes from the Gospel of Mark, in which a poor widow donates two lepta — the smallest denomination in circulation in Roman-era Judaea — to the Temple treasury. The lepton was struck by various Hasmonean and later Herodian rulers, and the specific coin type grouped under this popular label spans multiple reigns and decades. This piece is a modern replica.
