11And Jehovah said unto Moses, They shall offer their oblation, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar.
12And he that offered his oblation the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:
13and his oblation was one silver platter, the weight whereof was a hundred and thirty [shekels], one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering;
14one golden spoon of ten [shekels], full of incense;
15one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb a year old, for a burnt-offering;
16one male of the goats for a sin-offering;
17and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs a year old: this was the oblation of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“One spoon of ten [shekels] of gold, etc.] Its weight was according to the shekels, its matter of gold; it weighed four ounces, one drachm, and nine grains, and was worth about seven pounds and ten shillings of our money: full of incense; this looks as if this spoon was designed for the golden altar of incense, which might be at this time also dedicated; but Jarchi understands it as for the altar of burnt offering, and observes, we never find incense belonging to a private person, nor to the outward altar (the altar of burnt offering), but this only, and which was temporary.”
