| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Great King depicted in a dynamic running-kneeling posture to right, rendered in the characteristic Achaemenid royal style. The figure wears the royal kandys robe and kidaris headdress, carrying a quiver on his back. He extends his right hand forward holding a spear and draws a bow with his left hand. The design is confined within a slightly recessed, roughly rectangular panel on the irregular flan, with no legend or inscription in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The royal sigloi of this period were struck not at a single imperial mint but almost certainly at Sardis, the western administrative capital where Achaemenid treasurers managed tribute flows from the Aegean satrapies. These coins circulated widely through the Greek world — Athenian soldiers and mercenaries handled them regularly — yet Persian authorities showed no interest in adapting the design to local tastes, a deliberate conservatism that persisted for over a century of essentially unchanged production.
The long overlap between Artaxerxes I and II attributions reflects a genuine die-sequence problem that remains unresolved: reign boundaries cannot be established from the coins themselves.
