In Jesus’ time, there was a tax collected (tribute) to the Roman emperor, in addition to the numerous local Judaean taxes. During one of these collections, Jesus said: “Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny (King James translation for a silver denarius). Among collectors of ancient coins, the “Tribute Penny” has great appeal, especially to Christians who seek to own something during the time of Jesus Christ. But the Tribute Penny in Gold is really special and worthy of any collection.
Tiberius was Caesar of Rome over Pontius Pilot in Judea.
