Ancient Widow’s Mite Coin on aModern Israeli 5 Agorot Coin NO LONGER MINTED INFORMATION ON THIS
Date of Issue: September 4, 1985
January 1, 2008 is when they ceased to be legal tender in Israel
The coin cost about 3 times its face value to mint, hence its disuse.
Every year I go to IsraelI look for them, but theyare becoming harder and harder to find
The coin is so small in face value Israel stopped minting it a few years ago and then stopped using it (this is kind of like the New Testament story, the coin was such a small amount but the widow gave more than the others because she gave all that she had)
Many Israelis do not know the significance of the ancient coin represented on back of this moderncoin. They usually ask me why I'm looking for them because they are such a small amount, not even worth their time to count. So, Iget to tell them how Yeshua (Jesus) used it as a teaching example (see Mark 12:41-44)
OBVERSE: Image of a coin from the fourth year of the war of the Jews against Rome (it is also one of the coins referred to as the lepton or mite).

REVERSE: 5 Agorot in Hebrew and English along with the Date in Hebrew letters.
Other stuff: In 1987 a special "Hanukkah" issue had a Menorah and the Hebrew word Hanukkah on the reverse. In 1988 there was a special issue with the words "Israel’s 40th Anniversary" in Hebrew letters on the Reverse. Also, I've seen a misprinted double rim error which is quite rare.
