Ancient Biblical Coins | Judas 30 Pieces of Silver | Shekel of Tyre arrived!

I just "completed" my ancient Biblical coin collection with my crown jewelry at Shekel of Tyre dating 45 A.D. just 12 years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Really excited to talk about it and discuss some of my exploration into ancient Biblical coins. This coin is especially notorious as it was effectively blood money, Judas received 30 pieces of silver according to Matthew 27:3 for setting up the chief priests to arrest and ultimate crucify the Anointed One.
Some details regarding the shekel of Tyre.
en.wikipedia.o...
Tyrian shekels, tetradrachms, or tetradrachmas were coins of Tyre, which in the Roman Empire took on an unusual role as the medium of payment for the Temple tax in Jerusalem, and subsequently gained notoriety as a likely mode of payment for Judas Iscariot. Judas after receiving the blood money of betrayal ultimately lead him to suicide.
In the latest standard, which was also the one used for the temple tax, the coins bore the likeness of the Phoenician god Melqart or Baal, accepted as the Olympian Herakles by the Greeks and derided as Beelzebub by Jews in the time of the Seleucids, wearing the laurel reflecting his role in the Tyrian games and the ancient Olympic Games.
They also bore the Greek inscription ΤΥΡΟΥ ΙΕΡΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΣΥΛΟΥ (Týrou hierâs kai asýlou, 'of Tyre the holy [city] and [city] of refuge').[1] The coins were the size of a modern Israeli half-shekel and were issued by Tyre, in that form, between 126 BC and AD 56. Earlier Tyrian coins with the value of a tetradrachm, bearing various inscriptions and images, had been issued from second half of the fifth century BC. I believe Heaven is smiling on us in preserving this coin.
Some great samples:

I have one of those exact coins.I have owned the coin for 55 years approximately . I think it is an amazing coin. I wish I could get an estimate of it's value.

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

They are typically like 1-3k

[@oliverduke1173]

I discovered that a man is worth 50 shekels. So the Sanhedrin insulted Messiah by giving the woman's fee of 30

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Yep 👍 I’ve never heard that one, ☝️ I too was trying to make sense on the number of shekels paid to Judas. Tell me what you think 🤔 of this possibility. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqrdaHpqqb5jr68si=Id7A97EZjbAMVRyq Blessings 🙌 -mark

Just picked up one of these in an auction. Dated 29/30 AD. Had no idea about the history until just before. Amazing coin. Great video.

excellent collection ! I was looking around on Ebay and ended up here at your video.

Why thank you KP! Be careful on EBay I could make you a video just showing the fake coins I bought on EBay. 😳

Nice video. All the best.

Thanks Marilou planning to hit the British museum next month and have more ancient coins. 🙌👍

[@scripturescholar]

Before the internet I read a book or journal article where they determined that what they thought were ancient (Old Kingdom) Egyptian beads were in fact coins. They were small (~.5"), flat, fairly thin, with a hole in the center to string them to carry them. I mention this because Joseph was sold around the second dynasty for 20 pieces of silver as a slave. As far as I know these are near the earliest mention of coins (Gen 37:28). Abraham ~150 years earlier is the earliest mention I know of. I also remember that at the time in Egypt, silver was more valuable than gold.

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Yes! 👍

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Could it be that Joseph was sold for twenty pieces of silver as a male youth under twenty but Jesus price the price of a female, his bride 🙌 us, our redemption. biblehub.com/kjv/leviticus/27.htm

I somehow have one,I'll like to swnd photos and sell it

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

[@itssnax3949]

I found a coin just like this but it has ok. CA on the back any idea what it is

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Hmmm 🤔 post an image of both sides of the coin and post it on a few of the Facebook ancient coin groups. 👍 You are certain to get responses. Or better yet, instant satisfaction…upload those same images to Gemini.google.com and ask it to identify. Let me know how it goes. 👍

[@AnnCrawford-i1c]

First time here. Please explain all those coins. Thank you.

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Most likely the shekel of Tyre which was received by Judas Iscariot for identifying Jesus to arrest him by the high priests.

[@thebiblebus8069]

A mild redirection to avoid confusion. I’m saying this is the classification not that this was one of the literal betrayal coins. Mine was minted 12 years AFTER the crucifixion, therefore, not even a good candidate to have been handled by Judas. If it were earlier, then it would be a candidate but even then would be like winning the super lotto and correct there were be no method to determine who this coin had been handled by.

[@76iX2XTHRE39]

Beautiful coin!

[@marklestergamayon4082]

I have that coin but it's different in rhe back the eagle has word in the back its not kp it CP

[@Milagros18017]

Why arent these coins in the Vatican museum?

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Good 👍 question. Because there is an abundance of ancient coins. If the Vatican grabbed all the ancient coins it would be much too much numerous.

[@donofarrell3188]

The Vatican basement probably has all 30, as well as the pottery from the field.

[@Sapphiretodentistry]

With original translations, what’s your thought? Do you think the two coins given by the widow in tithing before YESHUA were the same kind penny he criticized with ceasers inscription? What do you think we’re these the same kind of coin?

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

The “widows mite” Luke 21:1-3 Is believed to be a bronze mite, also known as a Lepton (meaning small), minted by Alexander Jannaeus, King of Judaea, 103 - 76 B.C. and still in circulation at the time of Jesus. Very different from our modern day penny in appearance but similar in the sense that it is our smallest denomination. 👍 These ancient coins are very common and available typically worth $15- $150 bucks.

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

P.S. the coin mentioned in the “render to Caesar what is Caesars” in Greek Jesus asks for a denarius which is thought to be the “tribute penny” denarius displaying Caesar Tiberius on it.

[@Sapphiretodentistry]

@@FaithAndFactMarkyMark so if I’m understanding correctly. They were worth the same, but different coins?

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Nah, the denarius where Jesus asks them who is printed on is a higher denomination silver coin probably worth a days labor. The two bronze mites the widow dropped in were not worth much at all, like a modern penny.

How much is a shekle of Tyre

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

About 800 to 10k USD. It’s fun to own a replica about $50 bucks. Also fun just to see what’s available. Just don’t trust EBay, I’ve bought many fakes there.

not conjecture however it is symbolic. Ill tell you what it means: it means him and his descendants will be assured prosperity. Not gonna explain why though if you don't know ancient numerology.

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

What!!!! They are exorbitantly expensive. How’d you get your hands on? Which year description?

[@lamarravery4094]

The Bible wasn't specific what silver coin was used, so it's all conjecture. Nowhere does it say where they were minted or when. They could've been older silver coins.

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

True Which coins do you think the high priest would deal in? Jewish shekels or Roman money?

[@ronnyvillanueva9404]

@lamarravery4094 it’s no longer a conjecture but a Slam-dunk that the shekel of Tyre is the betrayal coins ….wide array of numismatic research points to it! Shalom

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Not too late. 😆🙌

[@aadd9110]

delusion. The coins of Jesus the inscription on them was KP. Which meant Caesar. And all the others are late coins.

[@FaithAndFactMarkyMark]

Jerusalem Minted half-shekels -- as opposed to the Tyre Minted half-shekel -- typically have the letters "KP" or "KAP" engraved to the right of the eagle; dates of the Jerusalem Mint coinage range from 18 B.C. to 69/70 A.D. The Greek letters "KAP" are an abbreviation for "KAICAP", the Greek word for "Caesar".

They didn't really have coin mints back then.

Not sure what this means. Maybe you mean high production Industrial Revolution mints, which 😆 would be correct. 👍 Silver was warmed up heated dropped in a dye and struck with a hammer.
