Lead Widow’s Mite Coin These small lead “tokens” were issued by King Alexander Jannaeus around 78 BC. Many of the lead coins had very similar markings as were issued on lepton widow’s mite coins, such as the anchor with a full solid circle or dots without lines similar but different to the lepton star images. Most lead pieces have images on just one side only. This particular coin has the star image minted with dots instead of rays. The reverse side is plain.It is believed that these lead pieces were issued as food tokens. Not many years before (90 to 85 BC), a bloody civil war had raged Judaea betwen the Saducees (party supporting King Jannaeus) and the Pharisees. Following the war, the King adopted a more benevolent policy toward the rival Pharisees. One method to ingrate onself was to offer gifts. As was also done by Roman emperors, it is believed that King Alexander Jannaeus issued these lead “tesserae” tokens to the people to be redeemed for food or other commodities. Excellent for giving or keeping for one's own collection. You can use this coin as an effective Bible study aid when giving the story of the poor widow Mark 12. Yes, this coin is authentic and circulated during the time of Jesus Christ. It was minted around 78BC under Alexander Jannaeus, King and High Priest of Judea.
