How much was 200 shekels of silver and 50 shekels of gold?

Joshua 7:21 (ESV)

21 when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels, then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”

Two hundred shekels of silver would be around 2.2 kilograms. Fifty shekels of gold would be just over 0.5 kilograms.
