Ancient Biblical Widows Mite Bronze Coin Ring (Size 6.5)

A bronze coin shows its star in a silver frame, proudly set among four small beads.

This ancient biblical widow's mite bronze coin ring is from Jerusalem, Judea, present day Israel, in the Middle East, and dates to the 1st century BCE. It is bronze and sterling silver, size 6.5. The widow's mite refers to the small bronze coins of Judea, which are often linked to the story in the Gospels, and such coins are generally of modest value and size. The coin shows a wheel-like star with radiating spokes, with traces of letters around it. It sits in a round silver bezel inside a squared setting with a bead at each corner. The silver band narrows toward the back.

Small change, set rather grandly.
