It is very hard to tell these sigloi apart.  Hill has a short work on them, Imperial Persian Coinage, that might help.  He refers a lot to Babelon's work on these coin, which is titled Perses Achem, and is most likely in French.

From what I can figure out, I think the siglos that you have posted is either from Artaxerxes I or Dareios II.  If can not be later than these two rulers because the fold in the kandys takes on a V shape on the front of the king with Artaxerxes II.
