Achaemenid Kingdom. Artaxerxes II to Artaxerxes III (Circa 375-340 BC). Siglos (No reserve price)

The Siglos coins from the Achaemenid Kingdom, dating between the reigns of Artaxerxes II and Artaxerxes III (circa 375-340 BC), are emblematic of Persian imperial currency. These silver coins played a central role in the vast Achaemenid economy, which stretched from the Indus Valley to the Balkans. Siglos coins often bear images or inscriptions that reflect Persian royal authority and religious symbolism, bridging Persian traditions with influences from conquered regions. The use of such coinage facilitated trade over the empire’s extensive territories and helped unify diverse peoples under a standardized monetary system. For numismatists, Achaemenid coins provide critical evidence about Persian art, administration, and cultural exchange during one of history’s largest empires.
