Footnotes
This is the coin type traditionally believed to have been shown to Jesus in the temple, referred to in the Christian new testament, and about which Jesus said 'Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's' (see Mark 12:17, Matthew 22:12 and Luke 20:25).
