Exegesis
The question is formed by fronting the interrogative genitive Tinos {Τίνος | Tí-nos} “of whom,” which governs both predicate nominatives hē eikōn hautē {ἡ εἰκὼν αὕτη | hē ei-kṓn haú-tē} “this image” and hē epigraphē {ἡ ἐπιγραφή | hē e-pi-gra-phḗ} “the inscription,” with an implied copula “is.” Coordinated articles and nouns (hē eikōn … kai hē epigraphē) indicate two aspects of the same object, contextually a coin, though the noun for coin remains implicit.
In context — Mark 12:16
And they brought it, and He said to them, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription is it?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
