<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 2217675, member: 37707&quot;]Beautiful piece. (I opened the PDF <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) May sound strange, but I like the spread on your olive branch. I haven&#039;t seen many that wide. What coins are you going to look at for your biblical collection? I try to collect examples of people mentioned or referred to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need a tetradrachm of Ptolemy to complete my Daniel chapter 8, 4 General collection; Antigonus, Lysimachus, and Seleucus already acquired.</p><p><br /></p><p>A siglos during the reign of Xerxes (Ahasuerus) will cover the book of Esther. (good luck determining if it&#039;s really Xerxes, though.) I have 4 described as Darius-Xerxes for good measure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though not biblical, Antiochus IV&#039;s (Epiphanes) action was alluded to in the Book of Daniel and recorded in Josephus&#039; works, The Maccabees. I have a Tetradrachm and Drachm of Antiochus IV.</p><p><br /></p><p>A Shekel of Tyre (30 pieces of silver Judas was paid for his betrayal) is on the top of my list, but shares an inflated demand similar to an Athens Tetradrachm.</p><p><br /></p><p>A Jvdea Capta Denarius issued under Vespasian would be ideal as it was issued during the Judean revolt and coincides with Jesus&#039; prophecy about the destruction of the Temple.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some Herodian bronze coinage would be awesome to acquire as well, although I have no interest in them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most affordable/common is the Widow&#039;s Mite.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Tiberius examples:</p><p>Ornate</p><p>[ATTACH=full]434002[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Plain</p><p>[ATTACH=full]434003[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>- Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
