| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregular incuse punch of oblong form divided into two or more rectangular compartments by raised ridges, a typical reverse type of Achaemenid hammered silver coinage produced by the punch die technique. The surface is uneven and striated, with no figurative design or inscriptions, consistent with the standard reverse treatment of the royal siglos series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The royal siglos changed little over nearly a century of Achaemenid rule — deliberately so. Artaxerxes II inherited an empire shaken by the revolt of his brother Cyrus the Younger, whose Greek mercenary army nearly reached Babylon in 401 BC, and monetary conservatism was part of a broader effort to project continuity and stability. The 3rd type B siglos spans the reigns of two kings across 67 years, making precise attribution to either ruler essentially impossible without die study beyond what catalog references resolve.
Sigloi circulated widely in Anatolia and the Levant but were rarely seen in Persia proper, where commodity exchange dominated.
