Each 2019 2 oz Crown of Thorns Biblical Silver Coin in this listing comes with a beautiful presentation packaging meant to reflect the appearance of the Bible. Each coin in the series comes with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity and has its unique serial number laser-etched on the edge of the product. The coins in this collection also feature the verse from the Bible that inspired the design on the reverse.

In this case, the design is inspired by Mark 15:16-19. It refers to the moment when Roman soldiers mocked Jesus for the claims of his supporters who believed he was the new King of the Jews. The soldiers dressed Jesus in purple robes and wove a crown of thorn branches that was forced onto his head. Throughout his trial and crucifixion, he bled from the forced crown of thorns.

On the reverse of 2019 2 oz Crown of Thorns Biblical Silver Coins, you can see Jesus seated in the center of the design as several soldiers mockingly crown him as the new King of the Jews. It is said the soldiers shouted Hail, King of the Jews to him and knelt down in mock worship before spitting on him.

The obverse side of 2019 Crown of Thorns Biblical Silver Coins includes Raphael Makloufs third-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design appeared on British coinage between 1984 and 1997 and depicts a younger Queen wearing the Royal Diadem crown.
