Tiberius The Tribute Penny of the Bible Rare AR Denarius Roman Empire 14-37 AD Rare Silver Coin Museum Reproduction CSRD0048

This is the “tribute penny” mentioned in the bible.

Jesus, referring to a “penny” asked, “Whose is this image and superscription?” When told it was Caesar, He said, ”Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:20-21). Since Tiberius was Caesar at the time, this denarius type is attributed by scholars as the “penny” referred to in the Bible.
