Sterling Silver Charm/ Pendant – Half a Sheqel – Ancient Coin Replica
A Silver Half Shekel. Minted in Tyre. This coin was customarily used to pay the half shekel head-tax to the Temple in the Second Temple period. At the time the Jerusalem Temple stood, every Jew was commanded to donate a half shekel to the Temple. This sum allowed all Jews, wealthy or poor, to contribute in the building’s maintenance, and for the purchase of the public sacrifices.
