These coins can make a great gift or as part of a religious historical study.

Free advice - I strongly recommend buying a copy of David Hendin\'s Guide to Biblical Coins. It is an invaluable aid in the research and study of biblical coins. I am a big fan. I have the 5th edition, I don\'t remember what I paid (it wasn\'t cheap) but it was worth it.

But to start with I have some resources to help...
