Comments: Roman coin: denarius of Tiberius Caesar (a tribute penny). A silver denarius of Tiberius (AD 14-37) (Reece Period 1), PONTIF MAXIM, Female figure seated right holding sceptre and branch. Mint of Lugdunum. RIC I, p. 95, no. 30 This coin is often thought by people to have been the Tribute Penny of the Bible.
From Smith: ( containing ten), Authorized Version "penny," (Matthew 18:28; Matthew 20:2; Matthew 20:9; Matthew 20:13) a Roman silver coin in the time of our Saviour and the Apostles, worth about 15 cents. It took its name from its being first equal to ten "asses," a number afterwards increased to sixteen. It was the principal silver coin of the Roman commonwealth. From the parable of the laborers in the vineyard it would seem that a denarius was then the ordinary pay for a day's labor. (Matthew 20:2; Matthew 20:4; Matthew 20:7; Matthew 20:9; Matthew 20:10; Matthew 20:13)
