A silver coin, with a cup on one side and a stem of three pomegranates on the other. The atlas calls it three quarters of a shekel, used to pay the Temple tax.

Note: Coins of this design are silver shekels, struck by the Jews in their revolt against Rome (AD 66-70). The Temple tax was half a shekel.

Read it: Exodus 30:13; Matthew 17:24-27
