Persian Daric in Carradice

[Derek A]

Hi

I have one Daric and am trying to better identify its period of issue.  It seems like the only publication that may do this (open to other ideas please) is "Carradice. I. Coinage and Administration in the Athenian and Persian Empires. British Archaeological Reports 343. Oxford. 1987. The Ninth Oxford Symposium on Coinage and Monetary History, BAR 343, Oxford, 1987, pp. 73-95."

From internet searches the coin would appear to be Type III that covers (via http://www.coinproject.com/search_emperor.php?emp=Carradice-Type-III&region=PERSIA&city=Achaemenid-Empire&type=12):
Darius I, 521-486 BC
Xerxes, 486-465 BC
Artaxerxes I, 465-425 BC
Darius II, 424-405 BC
Artaxerxes II, 405-359 BC
Cyrus, 401 BC
Artaxerxes III, 359-338 BC

I should like place it in a subgroup (A/B or C?) which I presume narrows it down within the various rulers.

Can anyone help please?

See Siglos (click the blue text) it might help.

Thanks for the guidance on Siglos.  I didn't realise they had the same basis of attribution as Darics!
