Coins Picture
Silver Coins and a Bronze Pot. These were excavated in
Israel and accurately dated to the time of
Jesus. They are kept in the Israeli Museum,
Jerusalem.
They might be similar to the 30 pieces of silver paid to Judas (Mat 26:15).
They probably were silver shekels equaling
about 120
denarii. This was the amount of compensation ("blood money") paid for accidental
death (Ex 21:32).
