Even if Jesus was a historical figure, who would place him on a coin so early? Herod Antipas?

In any case, he would have told you to give the coin to Caesar.

Jesus was a historical figure. The Bible is not the only document which mentions him. Also, most of his followers went to their deaths versus recanting their faith in Him as God incarnate -so they obviously weren't doing it as a prank, it was something they believed in fully. It is not logical to think that we measure something as important as time in relation to the life of someone who never existed.
