2,960. The Maximum and Minimum of Valuations

Hilchos Arachin Vacharamin 3:2

All the valuations that are explicit in the Torah are meant to be paid when the one who committed is well-off. If he was needy and lacked the resources, he must give all that he owns, even if it’s only a sela, and he fulfills his obligation. This is derived from Leviticus 27:8: “If he is too poor for the valuation... the kohein shall evaluate him according to his means.”

Hilchos Arachin Vacharamin 3:3

We learn that if he only has one sela, it is enough that he give that sela from that same chapter, which continues: “All of your valuations shall be in the holy shekel” (Leviticus 27:25). This teaches us that the minimum of a valuation is a sela (which is the same as a shekel) and the maximum is 50 shekel.
