    I am a believer in the Holy Bible..... I am Christian......
    With that said I have taken a liking to coins from Israel with a Biblical theme........ Here are some images from some that reside in my collection, I hope you like them.

    the third coin is very unique, it is sorta concave with very high relief....


    and a beauty with strong luster......

    it is a large piece, I believe it contains 1 oz of Silver....

    Yeah I noticed the bowl effect - it's the way the city wall kind of fades into the rim that got my attention. Very unique ;)

    Like yourself i'm thinking of doing something like this, coin/religion theme. Except i'm a pagan, so i was gonna do the Roman gods first. Then i might shift onto the Greek versions. Athenian Owl! :D

    It's a good approach though, and i like it!

    I am not an expert on the Jewish religion but it is to my understanding that the jews believe that one day their religion will end and a new world religion will take place with the only holiday remaining from their religion would be passover to remind everyone of the horror of slavery and the ten commandments. I thought it was interesting tibbit to mention since you said you were a Christian and had a coin that stated "Let My People Go". That would definitely make the third coin a keeper if the messiah ever comes or comes back:). Didn't want to get religious so I tried to keep the comments more historical/cultural for coin collecting purposes

    I know that worries me too... it could be pretty big.

    I'm trying to narrow it down to just the main Olympian gods first. Shouldn't be as massive a challenge that way. Hopefully! ;)

    So I believe in the Old Testament and the 'Let My People Go' causes me to think of Moses telling this repeatedly to Pharaoh....

    I'm no expert either - I've only been Jewish for a little over 72 years - but I've never heard of that "belief".

    Anyhow, discussion over.
