The latest offering in the Scottsdale Mint Biblical Coin series continues to highlight the Bible’s iconic stories.
The series’ fourth coin of 2016 depicts the Good Samaritan – a person who stopped to help an injured man – with a story of compassion and love. The two-ounce Fine silver coin has an antique finish and a high-relief, rimless design. The reverse shows the good samaritan helping the injured man onto a horse. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth’s effigy, and the edge is engraved with a unique serial number.
“This distressed, antique coin is a stunning addition to the series,” said APMEX vice-president of merchandising Andrew Martineau. “The story of the Good Samaritan is beautifully depicted within the details of the coin as the imagery clearly communicates the compassion shown toward those whose current situation may not be as fortunate as ours.”
The coin has a limited mintage of 1,499 pieces, each of which is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The certificate also features Gustave Doré’s artwork, Arrival of the Good Samaritan at the Inn, which the design was based off. The Scottsdale Mint issues the coin by the authority of the island of Niue, where it is legal tender.

The Scottsdale Mint Biblical Coin series is truly impressive, and this Good Samaritan coin is no exception! The high-relief design and antique finish really bring the story to life. I appreciate how the coin not only captures the essence of the Good Samaritan’s compassion but also offers collectors a piece of art with historical significance. I recently purchased this coin from https://www.boldpreciousmetals.com/product/3562/2021-silver-2-oz-scottsdale-biblical-series-transfiguration-of-jesus , and after seeing it, I’m absolutely in love with the design and look. Amen!
