A talent is an ancient measure of weight. Throughout history and in different countries talent varied in weight between 20 - 40 kilograms. So to convert it into monetary value, you at least need to determine who's talent, what year in history, and what's in a talent.

∙ 8y agoA talent is a measure that can be used for gold, silver, copper, or other substances. The ordinary talents (not for Temple-usage) weighed about 30 kilo.

How much in kilograms does a hundred thousand talents of gold and a thousand thousand talents of silver weigh and their current value 1 Chronicle 22v14?
According to ChristianAnswers.net (see related link), the Hebrew talent, which consisted of 3000 "sanctuary shekels" (Exodus 38:25-26), is roughly 94 3/7 lbs avoirdupois. The Greek talent, however, was lighter. According to 2 Samuel 12:30, a talent of gold was twice the weight of a talent of silver. The current value of gold and silver fluctuates daily; as of October 14, 2008 12:22 pm EDT, one Troy ounce of gold is going for about US $ 826, while one Troy ounce of silver is at about US$ 10.81. Since the current market values are changing greatly, these values could be invalid at the time someone reads it.
