Rather than being fractions of Greek denominations, which does not really work out mathematically, it is suggested that these are intended to be one &#039;gerah&#039; or 1/24 of a shekel, which in the late Iron Age/Early Persian period weighed 11.33 grams. 11.33 divided by 24 = 0.47grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Price</p><p>&nbsp; US$ 625.00&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; € 508.67</p><p>&nbsp;£ 398.29</p><p>&nbsp;AUD$ 598.96</p><p>&nbsp;CHF 610.91</p><p>&nbsp;CAD$ 629.48</p><p>Rates for 7/19/2012</p><p><br /></p><p>This should be sold about 5 minutes after i post this, as they usually are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
