Pontius Pilate Judaea AE Prutah (AD 26-36) NGC

Own a historic artifact from one of the most significant figures of ancient history with this Judaean AE Prutah of Pontius Pilate (AD 26–36), authenticated and slabbed by NGC. As the Roman prefect of Judaea, Pilate’s name is forever tied to the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, an event that shaped the course of world history.

Pontius Pilate served as the Roman governor of Judaea under Emperor Tiberius. Though largely a minor official in the Roman hierarchy, his role in biblical events elevated him to a figure of immense historical and religious importance. Coins issued under Pilate’s authority are among the few physical artifacts directly connected to his governance.

The AE Prutah typically features Roman symbols of power, such as the lituus (a ceremonial staff) or a wreath, combined with Greek inscriptions. These coins reflect both Roman authority and the delicate political balance Pilate had to maintain in a region often simmering with unrest.

Struck in Jerusalem, these small bronze coins circulated widely among the local population during a critical period of history. Holding one is like touching the very fabric of the ancient world during the time of early Christianity.

Certified by NGC for authenticity and preservation, this coin offers collectors, historians, and faith-based enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a tangible piece of one of history’s pivotal chapters.
