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.
