The Ancient Greek Silver Siglos Coin
One of the world’s oldest coins, hand-struck in silver more than 2,300 years ago…
- An ancient silver Greek siglos coin from the Achaemenid Empire, one of the greatest of its era, dating from the fifth to fourth century B.C.
- The rulers of the Achaemenid Empire, also known as the Persian Empire, were among the first to mint gold and silver coins for circulation.
- The silver siglos was once widely traded throughout the empire — its territories reaching from what is now Greece to the border of India — and beyond.
- The front of the coin features a hero-king, running while holding a spear, while the back features an incuse punch.
- Certified authentic by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) and sonically sealed into a holder that allows safe viewing of both front and back.
- Includes a Display Chest, magnifying loupe and Certificate/Collector Card, with fascinating narrative about the coin, the empire and the NGC certification.
