About: Achaemenid coinage

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Achaemenid Empire issued coins from 520 BCE–450 BCE to 330 BCE. The Persian daric was the first gold coin which, along with a similar silver coin, the siglos (from Ancient Greek: σίγλος, Hebrew: שֶׁקֶל, shékel) represented the first bimetallic monetary standard. It seems that before the Persians issued their own coinage, a continuation of Lydian coinage under Persian rule is likely. Achaemenid coinage includes the official imperial issues (Darics and Sigloi), as well as coins issued by the Achaemenid provincial governors (satraps), such as those stationed in Asia Minor.

  • Las monedas aqueménidas son la que se emitieron bajo el dominio del Imperio aqueménida entre el año 520 a. C. y el 330 a. C. El dárico fue la primera moneda de oro y, junto con su contraparte de plata, el siclo, representó el patrón monetario bimetálico del Imperio aqueménida.​ Sin embargo, las monedas aqueménidas cubren no solo las emisiones oficiales en dáricos y siclos, sino también otras acuñaciones realizadas por algunos gobernadores aqueménidas (sátrapas), como las de Asia Menor (Anatolia).
