<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 319050, member: 6647&quot;]The &#039;widow mite&#039; may well not have been the coin actually used in the famous Biblical passage, according to what I&#039;ve read about the matter.&nbsp; But legend has been built around it, since the use of the coin is more or less contemporaneous with the event.&nbsp; The coin itself does possess Hebrew writing on the reverse that can be used to fix the time period through the mention of the Judean king Alexander Jannaeus (103-76 BC).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
