Could you please elaborate on the value of the 30 pieces of silver in Jesus' time? I'm curious to know how much they would have been worth back then, considering the economic and monetary systems of the era. Was it a significant amount, or was it relatively modest? And how does this value compare to the modern-day equivalent?

However, others contend that the coins' value may have been significantly lower, perhaps equivalent to just five days' wages.

This alternative perspective takes into account the possibility of the coins being of a lesser denomination or quality.

The Bible does not explicitly mention the type or denomination of these coins, leading to varying interpretations of their worth.
