The gold Daric ranks among the most historically important coin types associated with the ancient Near East and served as a major gold denomination of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Introduced as part of the monetary system associated with Darius I and continued under later Great Kings, the Daric helped establish a standardized imperial gold coinage that could support commerce, government payments, and the compensation of soldiers and mercenaries. This AV Daric has an Extremely Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation and 4/5 grades for both strike and surface quality. Today, Achaemenid Empire AV Daric Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Gold Darics of the 5th century BC were struck under the authority of the Achaemenid Great Kings and generally followed a carefully maintained weight standard of approximately 8.4 grams. Produced from high-purity gold, these coins developed a reputation for dependable weight and metal content that contributed to their acceptance in commercial and military transactions.
All Achaemenid Empire AV Daric Coins available here are Extremely Fine pieces with only light wear on the highest relief points, as well as original details that are sharp and clear. The 4/5 grade for the strike and surface indicates coins with strong, well-struck details and only minimal signs of wear over time.
The most familiar design found on the Daric depicts the Persian Great King on the obverse in a running or kneeling stance, presented as a crowned royal figure carrying weapons such as a bow, spear, or both depending on the particular type. Often described as the royal archer design, this imagery combined recognizable symbols of Persian kingship and military authority within a compact composition suitable for repeated use on imperial coinage. Its consistent visual character made the denomination readily identifiable across the broad Achaemenid world. The reverse typically features a simple irregular incuse punch produced through the early striking methods used for Persian gold coinage.
