NGC Certified Azes I Journey of the Magi Silver Drachm Ancient Biblical Coin Set

This is a set of two NGC slabbed and certified ancient biblical coins featuring Azes I Journey of the Magi. These coins are made of silver and were minted in Israel during the Roman Imperial period, specifically between 103-76 BC. The coins are uncleaned and have not yet undergone any form of cleaning or restoration. These coins are certified by NGC and come with a set of historical aspects such as the denomination, composition, provenance, and year of manufacture. These coins are perfect for collectors or history buffs who want to own a piece of ancient history.

Scholars now believe the Magi were representatives of the Indo-Scythian ruler Azes, king of Bactria, in Central Asia, from 35 BC to AD 5-the time of Christ's birth. Little is known of the great king; we are not sure if he is properly Azes I or Azes II. This remarkably well-preserved, 2000-year-old silver drachm depicts the king on horseback, and shows a standing figure of Zeus on the reverse.
