    Biblical Series: Cleansing the Temple (2022 Scottsdale Mint)

    Biblical Series: Cleansing the Temple (2022 Scottsdale Mint)

    A bit later in the year than usual, Scottsdale Mint has finally debuted the first of six 2022 issues in their long-running Biblical Series of two-ounce silver coins. This is the eighth year since the series kicked off, and it was always designed to be a decade long program, building into a sixty-coin set. We were a little sceptical that it would run the course, but to Scottsdale’s credit, they’ve been steadfast in keeping it going.

    Part of the appeal, even if you’re not religious, are the superb production values on display, and the inspired choice of Gustave Dore’s extensive woodcut works to depict the various biblical scenes. Dore was a talented artist, and produced hundreds of bible scenes in woodcut form, so Scottsdale have plenty of source material to pick and choose from.

    This 43rd coin is called ‘Cleansing the Temple’ and shows a scene from Luke 19:46 where Jesus is kicking the buyers and sellers out of the temple. The style is consistent with the rest of the series, so if you’re a fan, you’ll take to this one as well. If you’re new to the series, or simply want to catch up with what has gone before, we have a full Coin Series Profile to the range up for your perusal.
