A shekel is an ancient unit of weight. One of the problems with ancient units of anything is that they were notoriously non-standard with respect to region and time period; a shekel could have been anything from about 9 to about 17 grams of gold depending on when and where it was.
So pick something in that range, then multiply by 50 and by the current spot price of gold per gram.

Gold, silver and copper shekels, as well as coins of lesser value in the same metals. One gold shekel was worth 25 silver shekels and could support a small family for several months. Coins of neighboring countries, such as the large Tyrian shekel, were also in circulation. One Tyrian shekel had the exchange rate of eight Israelite shekels.
The value of any coin is at least the "melt value," which would be the value of the component metals. As of December, 2006, the value of one ounce of gold is well over $600. The $20 gold piece in the US has always contained one ounce of 24K gold; the coin itself weighs more, as the ounce of gold is alloyed with other metals.
Its value is based only on the gold it contains -- currently about $600 per ounce.
Gold was used by the Hebrews and their Israelite descendants just as it was used by everyone else. One gold shekel equaled twenty-five silver shekels and could pay for food for one person for a year.
depending on condition. $475 - $600
