The coin in the fish's mouth is one of the miracles of Jesus, told in verses 24-27.

The four-drachma (or shekel) coin would be exactly enough to pay the temple tax (two-drachma coin) for two people.
It is usually thought to be a Tyrian shekel.

The Bible does not specify the species of the fish caught by Peter, but Tilapia is sometimes referred to as "St. Peter's fish".
