Just as the symbol of Christ's cross has endured for millennia, so too has the ancient widow's mite coin in this fancy sterling silver cross pendant. Minted in Rome during the first century B.C., this handmade bronze "widow's mite" coin is over 2,000 years old. This relic is a genuine coin used in the Holy Land at the time of Christ. While the design varies by coin, common symbols include an anchor, star, cornucopia, palm branch, lily and/or reed with leaves. Bezel-set in polished sterling silver, the coin is framed by a textured, round border, while an embossed floral pattern extends along the cross arms. The Bible relates the story of the widow's mite in the book of Mark, verses 12:41-44. According to the legend, Jesus observed people giving money to the treasury and noted that a poor widow who gave two small bronze coins—known as mites—was more generous than the rich men who gave more valuable coins, as she gave all that she had. Other details of the ancient coin sterling silver cross pendant include:
