Exegesis
The interrogative genitive tinos {τίνος | tí-nos} “of whom” governs the implied possession of the coordinated accusatives eikona {εἰκόνα | ei-kó-na} “image” and epigraphen {ἐπιγραφήν | e-pi-gra-phḗn} “inscription,” forming a single question about the coin’s identifying marks.
In context — Luke 20:24
Show me a denarius . Whose image and inscription does it have? They answered, “Caesar’s.”
