Denarius

(containing ten), Authorized Version 'penny,' (Matthew 18:28; 20:2,9,13) a Roman silver coin in the time of our Saviour and the Apostles, worth about 15 cents. It took its name from its being first equal to ten 'asses,' a number afterwards increased to sixteen. It was the principal silver coin of the Roman commonwealth. From the parable of the laborers in the vineyard it would seem that a denarius was then the ordinary pay for a day's labor. (Matthew 20:2,4,7,9,10,13)

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
(n.) A Roman silver coin of the value of about fourteen cents; the penny of the New Testament; -- so called from being worth originally ten of the pieces called as.DENARIUS

de-na'-ri-us (denarion): A Roman silver coin, 25 of which went to the aureus, the standard gold coin of the empire in the time of Augustus, which was equal in value to about one guinea or USD5, 25; more exactly ?1.0, 6 = USD5.00, the ? = USD4,866. Hence, the value of the denarius would be about 20 cents and this was the ordinary wage of a soldier and a day laborer. The word is uniformly rendered 'penny' in the King James Version and 'shilling' in the American Standard Revised Version, except in Matthew 22:19Mark 12:15 and Luke 20:24, where the Latin word is used, since in these passsages it refers to the coin in which tribute was paid to the Roman government. See MONEY.

Denarius of the Emperor Tiberius, commonly referred to as the Tribute Penny.

The tribute penny was the coin that was shown to Jesus when he made his famous speech 'Render unto Caesar...' The phrase comes from the King James Version of the gospel account: Jesus is asked, 'Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?' (Mark12:14) and he replies, 'bring me a penny, that I may see it' (Mark 12:15).

The Pharisee or 'spy' asking Jesus whether to pay Roman taxes/tribute is attempting to entrap him into admitting his opposition to doing so. But Jesus also opposes Roman coinage and the money given by Rome to colluders like the Pharisees. So upon seeing that the coin is a 'tribute penny', Jesus avoids the trap by saying to give it back to Caesar, because it is his anyway.

The Tribute Money, by Titian (1516), depicts Jesus being shown the tribute penny

The Greek text uses the word dēnarion,[1] and it is usually thought that coin was a Romandenarius with the head of Tiberius. It is this coin that is sold and collected as the 'tribute penny', and the Gospel story is an important factor in making this coin attractive to collectors.[2] The inscription reads 'Ti[berivs] Caesar Divi Avg[vsti] F[ilivs] Avgvstvs' ('Caesar Augustus Tiberius, son of the Divine Augustus'), claiming that after death Augustus had become a god. The reverse shows a seated female, usually identified as Livia depicted as Pax.[3]

However, it has been suggested that denarii were not in common circulation in Judaea during Jesus' lifetime and that the coin was more probably an Antiochan tetradrachm bearing the head of Tiberius, with Augustus on the reverse.[4] Another suggestion often made is the denarius of Augustus with Gaius and Lucius on the reverse, while coins of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Germanicus are all considered possibilities.[5]

A similar episode occurs in the Gospel of Thomas (verse 100), but there the coin in question is gold.
