The gold daric of the ancient Achaemenid Empire is one of the earliest forms of standardized currency in human civilization. Introduced by Darius I, these ancient gold coins shared a common design concept, and surviving specimens are extremely popular among collectors of ancient coins. This particular Achaemenid Empire Gold Daric is a Choice Extremely Fine specimen according to the NGC. Right now, the Greek Coinage Achaemenid Empire AV Daric is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Greek Coinage Achaemenid Empire AV Daric Coin is housed in a protective slab and comes with a Choice Extremely Fine certification from the NGC. Coins in this condition typically show complete details with minor wear present on some of the high points of the piece. The label in the NGC slab offers a grading scale for the strike quality and surface quality of the coin, with 5/5 being the highest grade for an NGC Ancient Coin.
The strike numbers refer to the quality of the coin at the time it was struck, such as the centering of the design, the strength of the strike, and the evenness of the visual appearance. The surface numbers refer to the quality of the coin after it was struck and circulated, such as luster, corrosion, scratches, and other signs of wear.
Greek Coinage Achaemenid Empire AV Daric Coins showcase the classic design of coins from the Achaemenid Empire. These coins typically featured an image of the Persian king in a running or kneeling position, holding a bow and spear, symbolizing royal power and military might. The coins feature an incuse reverse punch, which created the raised design on the obverse. Many of these specimens have a rich, golden-yellow hue with even, warm toning and a bright, satin-like luster.
The Achaemenid Empire, founded by Cyrus the Great around 550 BCE, was the first Persian Empire and became one of the largest empires in ancient history, stretching from the Indus Valley to Libya and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf. At its height under rulers like Darius I and Xerxes I, it controlled vast territories spanning three continents and incorporated diverse peoples and cultures under a relatively tolerant administrative system.
