Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מָאתַ֨יִם כֶּ֜סֶף
two_hundreds pieces_of_silver
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [200 pieces of silver]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַתִּתְּנֵ֣הוּ
and,gave,it
The pronoun it refers to the 200 pieces of silver. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and she gave that silver]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
פֶּ֣סֶל וּמַסֵּכָ֔ה
idol and,cast_metal
See how you translated the same expression in 17:3.
17:4-5 We are not told what Micah’s mother did with the other 900 shekels. Perhaps they went to pay for the shrine (literally house of gods).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
