Pelf
Pelf is money or wealth, especially when regarded with contempt or acquired by reprehensible means.
After betraying Jesus, a remorseful Judas threw his pelf into the temple before committing suicide.
And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. (Matthew 27:5, NASB)
Note: This oil on canvas is "The Remorse of Judas" by Edward Armitage (1817-1896).
