While the Gospels mention a denarius, this is not historically accurate. The coins circulating in Jerusalem at that time were not "tribute pennies" bearing the portrait of the emperor Tiberius, most likely, or his predecessor Caesar Augustus but rather bronze prutahs, like this one, struck in the name of the Roman Emperor, but issued by the local procurator who supervised the province of Judaea.
