Bronze Widows Mite set in a square mounting, soldered onto a sterling, flat woven bracelet. Exquisite! .
The Widows Mite was minted in the holy land over 2000 years ago during the reign of King Alexander Jannaeus in the century preceding the birth of Jesus. What makes these coins of great historical and religious importance is that twice in the bible, Jesus is quoted telling the story of the poor widow who gave all that she had which was just two mites.
