This 3D model, “Judah’s Treason Coin,” evokes the infamous “thirty pieces of silver” paid to Judas Iscariot for betraying Jesus, a phrase that has become a universal symbol of betrayal and contempt. While the exact historical coin type is debated, many scholars point to high‑purity Tyrian silver shekels as the most likely candidates, the same coinage used for the Jerusalem Temple tax.
Matthew 26:14–15 – Judas agrees on the price:
“Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, ‘What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?’ So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.” More info on https://www.arqreation.com/2025/12/25/judahs-treason-coin/ where you can also print your museum for free
