THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Book of Exodus (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

30:13 Half a sicle: A sicle or shekel of silver, (which was also called a stater,) according to the standard or weight of the sanctuary, which was the most just and exact, was half an ounce of silver, that is, about half a crown of English money. The obol, or gerah, was about three halfpence.
