Value It is often assigned a symbolic value, historically noted in Masonic texts as the equivalent of a "Jewish half-shekel of silver". In the United States, this was often equated to twenty-five cents in currency for the purpose of the ritual's lesson. The use of the shekel in the Mark Degree relates to the wages paid to workmen during the building of King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, which is a central element in Masonic lore and ritual. Symbol of Good Faith The half-shekel is also described as a symbol of good faith and honest dealing in the context of redeeming a pledge within the degree's narrative. ***A "RAM Masonic Coin" or token refers to a collectible often called a "Masonic Penny," a small metal disc used by Royal Arch Masons (R.A.M.), a higher degree in Freemasonry, to signify membership, mark attendance at meetings/degrees, or commemorate events, often with local Chapter numbers and dates, sometimes created from altered U.S. or British pennies. ***Masonic Royal Arch Chapter token.
