Comments: Widow's Mite - Ancient Roman Bronze Coins. These are real, 2000 years old Judean coins. As you can see, they are very small coins. Each was worth about one-fourth of a cent, or one-half of a farthing. (I paid about US$20 each to buy these from a coin dealer -- talk about inflation! :)
From Easton: Mite - contraction of minute, from the Latin minutum, the translation of the Greek word lepton, the very smallest bronze of copper coin (Luke 12:59; Luke 21:2). Two mites made one quadrans, i.e., the fourth part of a Roman as, which was in value nearly a halfpenny. (See FARTHING)
Verses:
- Mark 12:42
- Luke 12:59
- Luke 21:2
