Here is what Wikipedia says about The Tribute Money (Titian)

The Tribute Money (Italian: Cristo della moneta, lit.'Christ of the coin') is a panel painting in oils of 1516 by the Italian late Renaissance artist Titian, now in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. It depicts Christ and a Pharisee at the moment in the Gospels when Christ is shown a coin and says "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's". It is signed "Ticianus F.[ecit]", painted on the trim of the left side of the Pharisee's collar.

It is possibly the earliest representation in art of this scene, which had a personal significance for Alfonso I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, who commissioned it.

Ohh, you know, through the ages, money has taken various forms – from gold and silver through to the two types of money used today: cash and bank deposits.
