Struck in Jerusalem under the Herodian kings, these bronze coins moved through daily life in ancient Judaea during a time of power, faith, and tension.
They passed between merchants in crowded streets, families buying food, and travelers moving through the holy city. Hands held them without ceremony, focused only on survival and routine.
Nearly two thousand years later, these same coins endure. Worn smooth by ordinary lives, they remain tangible witnesses to a world long vanished but not forgotten.

Who held this before?
Picture Jerusalem under the Herodian kings.
Stone streets crowded with pilgrims and merchants. The Temple rising above everything, alive with prayer, sacrifice, and tension. Roman authority is never far, even as Jewish tradition shapes daily life.
This coin once had purpose here. It may have paid for bread near the Temple courts. It could have passed through a moneychanger’s hands during a festival crowd packed shoulder to shoulder. Perhaps a family spent it quietly, balancing faith, survival, and the realities of Roman rule.
Hands shaped by devotion, compromise, and uncertainty carried this coin forward. People who lived between kingdoms, laws, and beliefs, never knowing what tomorrow would demand. Their lives ended. Their rulers vanished.
Jerusalem changed forever. The coin endured. Now it rests in your hand.
