Jesus' response to the question posed by the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" revolved around this penny. He did not directly answer the question but instead asked for the penny and then inquired whose image and inscription were on it.

Upon receiving the response that it was Caesar's, Jesus famously stated, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." This statement beautifully encapsulates the essence of his teachings on the separation of spiritual and temporal matters.

The tribute penny has since become a symbol of this profound teaching, reminding us of the importance of distinguishing between our duties to God and our duties to the state.

This particular penny is believed to have been a Roman denarius, a common currency in the Roman Empire during that era. The depiction of Tiberius' head on the coin adds to its authenticity and historical value.
