This small, bronze lepton coin encased in a yellow gold bezel is one of legend. In the time of Jesus, it was the smallest denomination of Judea currency. A poor widow gave two leptons to the temple, which was all she had. They came to be called the “Widow’s Mite” and symbolize sacrificial giving and true generosity as a gift of the heart, not of monetary value.
