"The Biblical Magi" Set of (3) Biblical Holy Land Coins

Please see photos for details regarding the condition of the coin. Includes display case as shown.

This collection includes three Azes II coins of the kind that would have been used to finance the journey of the Magi: a bronze tetradrachm, a silver drachm, and a silver tetradrachm.

On the obverse is the king on horseback, following a star. On the reverse is one of several Greek deities.

The coins feature both Greek and Kharoshthi writing, making these among the earliest bilingual coins. Much of Azes’ coinage was issued before the birth of Christ, but all were in circulation during Jesus’ lifetime.
