Looks like Sear, Greek, vol. 2, number 4678, attributed to the period 486-450 B.C. (period of Xerxes to Artaxerxes).

The timing of this post is great,
I was just watching a History channel show called Building an Empire.
It was about the Persian empire period of Xerxes and Artaxerxes among other peroids.
I've always knew about Xerxes and wondered about his coins,if any.
Thanks Andreas for showing one. ;D
