Other interesting coins related to the New Testament are the denarius, which was considered to be a days wage, and the shekel, which is believed to be the coin Peter took from the fish's mouth.

A denarius that matches the text would be from before 33 AD and include the word Caesar on it. Those are hard to find, probably because they are in demand for the Biblical association. Later period denarri are much more common
