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®ion=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?
