Biblical-Era Judean Bronze Prutahs
New Testament has reference to Biblical-Era Judean Bronze Prutahs coins. These coins had a more common name due to a very well known biblical story.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
In the Bible, Marks 12:42, 44, there is a reference to Biblical-Era Judean Bronze Prutahs commonly called "Widow's Mites." In fact, the Bible refers to a poor woman donating all the money she had, which was two Mites. In other words, she was a widow that gave all the money she had to Jesus.
These Biblical-Era Judean Bronze Prutahs still had yet another name. In addition, Widows Mite's were also known as a "Lepton." These bronze coins were the smallest denomination of currency used.
At the time of Mark's writing, one mite was worth 1/64th of a silver denarius. A denarius was a day's wage for a common worker. In today's terms, it would be worth about 1/8th of a cent.
