A standard talent is equal to seventy-five pounds. The price of gold as of September 2014 is approximately $1240 an ounce. There are 12 troy ounces in a pound. That means a talent of gold would be worth $1,116,000 (one million, one hundred sixteen thousand dollars US).
Now simply find the price of gold today and multiply it by the 75 pounds and then by 12 (for troy ounces per pound) to get a current answer.
