Some of the most famous stories in the Bible revolve around coins. From the widow’s mite to Judas’s thirty pieces of silver, the original narratives and their later translations have used local coins to make the Gospels relate to audiences over the ages. In turn, early Biblical writings have directly inspired the earliest artistic expression of Christian faith on coin designs.

About Richard A Abdy

Richard A. Abdy has been a curator of Roman coins at the British Museum for many years, with particular interest in the middle and later imperial periods of the Roman Empire. He has had long experience of recording Roman coin hoards through work on Treasure cases in England. At university his research led to a corpus of the coinage from the Antonine Wall, which flagged up the need for a modern reference for the coinage of this period.
