The Coins in Judas’ purse

As the Gospel of John puts it, Judas Iscariot “kept the common purse.” What may have been in the coin bag of Jesus that Judas managed, and occasionally embezzled? This session peeks inside the common purse to see what cash Jesus may have been carrying around with him. We will have examples of these coins from the research collection of the Centre for Coins, Culture and Religious History at St John’s Cathedral, Brisbane.
