stā´tẽr ( στατήρ , statḗr ): Used only once, Matthew 17:27 , where it is rendered by "piece of money" in the King James Version and "shekel" in the Revised Version (British and American). It was originally a standard Greek weight equal to two drachmas, but later it was used to designate the tetradrachma, and this is probably the coin referred to in the above passage. See MONEY .
