ANCIENT ROME : The Silver Tribute Penny of the Bible (Emperor Tiberius 14-37 AD) : NGC graded Choice VF
This is a silver Denarius of Emperor Tiberius (14-37 AD)
According to Wikipedia …
“The Gospels mention that during Tiberius' reign, Jesus of Nazareth preached and was executed under the authority of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea province.
In the Bible, Tiberius is mentioned by name in Luke 3:1, which states that John the Baptist entered on his public ministry in the fifteenth year of his reign. The city of Tiberias (named after Tiberius) referenced in John 6:23 is located on the Sea of Galilee, which was also known as the Sea of Tiberias and is referenced in John 6:1,
Many other references to Caesar (or the emperor in some other translations), without further specification, would seem to refer to Tiberius. Similarly, the "tribute penny" referred to in Matthew and Mark is popularly thought to be a silver denarius coin of Tiberius”
Please see the following pictures – the last shows the coin both before and after it was encapsulated.
