Description: ROMAN EMPIRE "TIBERIUS" 14-37 AD NGC AU 5x2 Description ROMAN EMPIRE "TIBERIUS" 14-37 AD NGC AU 5x2! Known as the Golden 'Tribute Penny'! This was the coin they gave him when they tried to trick Jesus on taxes. He reply's "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. He's referring to our soul because money is hardly a top priority to God, only what we do with it is important or significant. (wikipedia write up below) Matthew 22:21. 32 The tribute penny was the coin that was shown to Jesus when he made his famous speech "Render unto Caesar..." The phrase comes from the King James Version of the gospel account: Jesus is asked, "Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" (Mark 12:14) and he replies, "bring me a penny, that I may see it" (Mark 12:15). The Pharisee or "spy" asking Jesus whether to pay Roman taxes/tribute is attempting to entrap him into admitting his opposition to doing so. So upon seeing that the coin is a "tribute penny", Jesus avoids the trap by saying to give it back to Caesar, because it is his anyway. The Tribute Money, by Titian (1516), depicts Jesus being shown the tribute penny The Greek text uses the word dēnarion,[1] and it is usually thought by scholars that coin was a Roman denarius with the head of Tiberius. It is this coin that is sold and collected as the "tribute penny", and the Gospel story is an important factor in making this coin attractive to collectors.[2] The inscription reads "Ti[berivs] Caesar Divi Avg[vsti] F[ilivs] Avgvstvs" ("Caesar Augustus Tiberius, son of the Divine Augustus"), claiming that after death Augustus had become a god. The reverse shows a seated female, usually identified as Livia depicted as Pax.[3]
