| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Great King depicted in the kneeling-running pose to right, rendered in the Achaemenid royal iconographic tradition. The monarch holds a dagger in his right hand and a strung bow in his left, with a quiver of arrows visible over his right shoulder. The figure is shown with characteristic stylized treatment of the body, wearing the royal Persian robe and kidaris. The design is executed in high relief typical of early Achaemenid royal silver coinage, set within a roughly circular incuse field. |

The "4th type A early" designation places this siglos within the transitional phase of royal coinage attributed to the reigns of Artaxerxes I and Darius II — a period bookended by the Athenian-backed revolt of Egypt and the political turbulence following Artaxerxes I's death in 424 BC, when three kings held the throne within a single year before Darius II consolidated power. Persian sigloi of this era circulated extensively in Anatolia and the Levant, where they served as payment for Greek mercenaries — the same soldiers whose employers would eventually turn against Achaemenid interests entirely.
