Jerusalem.

- This is a great coin to use as a teaching lesson on the TABERNACLE/TEMPLE TAX
- This BEAUTIFUL coin ring comes in a simple small plastic jewelry bag.
- NOTE: though the coin has a 25% nickel content, the band is nickel free.
- As far as band SIZE is concerned, it is a STRETCHY ring. The pictures with a finger is a 9.5. The ring fits comfortably on a ring mandrel starting at about size 6 to about size 11. In my opinion, 7-10 is more ideal.
