Specie
A specie is coined money; coin.
In Luke 15, Jesus tells three parables involving lost items: a lost sheep, a lost specie, and a lost son.
"Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? "When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!' "In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." (Luke 15:8-10, NASB)
As feminist scholars are quick to point out, the parable of the Lost Coin is the only parable in which a female figure assumes the role of God.
