| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of the Egyptian dwarf deity Bes depicted frontally, wearing a plumed crown or atef-like headdress surmounted by a serrated element and suspended fringed canopy. The squat, leonine face features prominent ears and a broad chest rendered in relief. The deity holds a globular object at the base, characteristic of the Bes iconography associated with Nectanebo II's coinage. The field is plain and the flan is irregular, consistent with the hammered production technique of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nectanebo II was the last native pharaoh to rule Egypt before the second Persian conquest under Artaxerxes III in 343 BC — making his reign the final chapter of three millennia of indigenous rule. That this issue takes the form of a daric, a Persian monetary denomination, speaks directly to the realpolitik of the fourth century Aegean world, where Greek mercenaries expected payment in a currency they trusted. Nectanebo relied heavily on such mercenaries to resist Persia, and these coins likely funded exactly that resistance.
The issue is rare in any condition. Most examples derive from a single hoard find.
