Product Details

Own a Piece of History with this Certified Authentic Bronze Prutah from the reign of King Herod the Great, one of the most infamous rulers in biblical history. This remarkable coin, dating from 37 BCE to 4 BCE, is a true collector's item, beautifully preserved and displayed in a professional portfolio that includes an informative story about its historical context.
Historical Context: King Herod is often remembered for his cruelty, as described in the Gospel of Matthew. To protect his throne and safeguard his rule as the King of the Jews, Herod ordered the Massacre of the Innocents—the killing of all male children under the age of two in the region of Bethlehem, in a bid to eliminate the newborn Jesus whom he saw as a threat to his power.

Despite his ruthless actions, Herod is also known for his architectural achievements, including the renovation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and his long reign as a puppet king under Roman authority. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of both his political ambition and the violent actions that marked his rule.
