<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 3753297, member: 92212&quot;]Not yet mentioned but very relevant to this question is that <b><u>IF</u></b> the Tiberius denarius with Livia seated reverse was the Tribute Penny, it would have to be a &quot;straight leg&quot; chair type because the &quot;decorated leg&quot; types were produced post-Crucifixion. (Notice that the example in Kevin Butcher&#039;s video shared by [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] showed the straight leg type.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom-line (and as stated above) we will of course never ascertain with absolute certainty which exact coin type was presented. In view of that reality for my biblical coin collection I hedged my bet well by including several potential types most of which are shown below.&nbsp; I&#039;m not including my Tyrian Melkart shekel or half-shekel because as Butcher pointed out in his video neither type fits the basic criteria of the narrative. (Although they are STRONG &quot;30 pieces of silver&quot; candidates, but that is a separate issue which deserves its own thread. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>Augustus denarius . . .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1006357[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiberius denarius (with straight chair legs) . . .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1006355[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiberius drachm from Cappadocia . . .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1006358[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiberius Antiochene tetradrachm showing both Tiberius and Augustus . . .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1006359[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Augustus Antiochene tetradrachm showing only Augustus . . .</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1006360[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
