The actual value varied and scholars place it anywhere from $1,000 to $30,000 today. That would be 1316 troy ounces of gold, almost $1.5 million dollars today.

I would assume you had a typo and misspelled talent, spelling it talen.The talent was a unit of weight invented by theGreekswhich was also adopted by the Romans. The Attic (Greek) talent was 27 kilograms (57 pounds). The Roman talent was 32.3 Kilograms (71 pounds). The talent itself had no value. What had value was the material which wasweighed. Originally, the talent was used to measure the amount of silver that defeated cities had to pay as war indemnity. Later, the talent was also used to weigh gold.Thevalueof a talentdependedonwhetherit was a talent of gold or a talent ofsilverand on the time in history.

It is a measure of weight, not worth. Two types of Biblical talent were in use. The ordinary talent was about 30 kilos. You'll have to multiply that by whatever the price of silver is or was at a given time. The purchasing power of silver has changed drastically in history. The other talent was for sacred use such as Tabernacle or Temple property. It was close to 60 kilograms.
The double implication of the word talent in "On His Blindness" refers to both the traditional definition of talent as a skill or ability that one possesses, which the speaker fears he cannot fully utilize due to his blindness, and also the biblical reference of a "talent" as a unit of value, representing the speaker's concern about being judged by God for not using his talents effectively in his current state of blindness. This creates a layer of meaning that reflects the speaker's internal struggle and self-doubt.
A talent of gold is about 75 pounds, and today, gold is sold for $A1586 per ounce, so 1 talent would be worth 75 x 1200 x 1586 which equals $A142,740,000. It is interesting to note that King Solomon received annually, 666 talents of gold into his kingdom, (2Chronicles 9.13)
It was the equivalent of what it is today $5000
