Although these coins were minted long before Christ’s lifetime, they were still in circulation during the first century A.

The lepton is the very smallest denomination and is probably the true widow’s mite. In fact, the lepton is probably the lowest denomination coin ever struck by any nation in all of history! Lepton and prutah were carelessly and crudely struck, usually off center and on small flans. Because they circulated for a long period, they are usually very worn. Legends are almost always unreadable. The actual size of a prutah is less than 1/2 inch in diameter. A lepton is usually about the same diameter as a pencil eraser.
