Step back into the world of the New Testament with this authentic bronze coin of the Nabataeans, the desert kingdom that rose to power in the Biblical Holy Land more than 2,000 years ago. Once nomadic Bedouins, the Nabataeans transformed into master traders, building their capital at Petra—the breathtaking “rose-red city” carved into stone—and controlling the lucrative routes of frankincense, myrrh, and spices that stretched from Arabia to Rome.
These coins were struck by hand and spent in the bustling markets, caravan stops, and cities of the region at the very time when Jesus, the Apostles, and the earliest Christians walked the land. As everyday money, they could have been exchanged by merchants, travelers, and worshippers in Jerusalem and beyond, making them a remarkable direct connection to both Biblical history and the ancient world.
Though often crude in appearance, with irregular strikes and worn surfaces, each coin carries with it the marks of genuine circulation—a testimony to the lives and stories of the people who once used them. Today, they stand as one of the most affordable and accessible ways to own an artifact from the world of the Bible.
Perfect for both new collectors and seasoned enthusiasts, these Nabataean bronzes are more than coins; they are fragments of faith, trade, and history, preserved for you to hold in your hand.
