Help Croesus or Persian Siglos (Lion and Bull)?
« on: September 02, 2022, 04:44:31 pm »
I need help identifying the period of this siglos, would it be Croesus or later Persian? It measures 14.9mm and weighs 5.29g. Thanks
Diego.

Stylistically this is rather late, although it is difficult to be precise since the bull is not very clear.

For some more ideas on these types see here:
