Piece of Gold
Smith’s Bible Dictionary · William Smith, F. N. Peloubet, M. A. Peloubet
The rendering "pieces of gold," as in (2 Kings 5:5) is very doubtful; and "shekels of gold") as designating the value of the whole quantity, not individual pieces is preferable. Coined money was unknown in Palestine till the Persian period.
