This 10 ounce silver bar features a depiction of Jesus clearing the temple and is minted by Golden State Mint in the United States. The bar is composed of 0.999 fine silver and comes in a unit quantity of one. Its shape is a standard bar and its unit type is measured in ounces. The silver content in the bar is precious and valuable for investment purposes. Jesus cleanses the temple of the moneychangers and sellers of merchandise because of his disgust at what they had made of God’s house of prayer. However, the Jewish law required that every man should pay a tribute to the service of the sanctuary of “half a shekel” – a Jewish coin. Therefore, it became a matter of convenience to have a place where Roman coins could be exchanged for Jewish half shekels.
