Tribute penny

we care about the popularity of a depicted subject or the popularity of a coin type.

I've brought you something that is known as the tribute penny, which is connected to the Bible, where it is asked whether people should give taxes to the emperor.

And people always thought that when Jesus was thinking about that, he should have had a denarius of Tiberius in his hand because that was the coin type that was struck around that time.

We do not know whether this is true, but a certain coin type of Tiberius has been marketed as a tribute penny.

These tribute pennies are not rare.

Nevertheless, they always bring a very high price.
