03 02 Tiberius RIC 30
Tiberius.  14-37 A.D.  AR Denarius.  Lugdunum (Lyon) Mint.  3.78 g., 19 mm.  Obv: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS, laureate head right.  Rev: PONTIF MAXIM, Livia as Pax, seated right, holding scepter and olive branch.  Feet on footstool.  Ornate chair legs.  One line below throne.  RIC I 30, RSC 16a.  

The well known "tribute penny."  When brought a coin as requested, Jesus asked, "Whose is this image and superscription?" When told it was Caesar, He said, ''Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:20-21). Since Tiberius was Caesar at the time, this denarius type is attributed by scholars as the "penny" referred to in the Bible.
