520 | |a Inscribed stone and bronze shekel weights are a distinctive feature of Late Iron II Judah where they were used to weigh pieces of silver in monetary transactions. But a curious circumstance has always plagued their interpretation. The weights themselves are arranged in a system of 1,2,4,8,12,16,24, and 40 shekels, but the hieratic numerals inscribed on them are 1,2,5,10,15,20,30, and 50.
