VIRTUAL EXHIBITION: COINS OF JESUS

The University of Calgary has opened a virtual exhibit on the coins of Jesus from the Numismatic Collection of Nickle Galleries. -Editor

Coins of Jesus: Money and Religion in the Ancient World

Coins of Jesus is a virtual exhibition that highlights Judeo-Christian coinage in the Numismatics Collection of Nickle Galleries, covering a unique geographic area and a historic period of cultural and ideological diversity. Beginning with Persian Imperial coins and Phoenician shekels, the exhibition presents Jewish, Judeo-Roman, Roman Christian and Byzantine coinage, concluding with Islamic and Medieval money – an intellectually and artistically rewarding journey.

Exhibition curated by Marina Fischer from the Numismatic Collection of Nickle Galleries, University of Calgary

The exhibit encompasses a wide range of history, with sections covering Early Money in the Holy Land, Jewish Coinage, Coins That Jesus Knew, Rome, Judea and Christianity, Christianity in the Byzantine Empire, Money of the Islamic world, and Medieval Europe. Here are a couple pieces that caught my eye. -Editor
