| Aversbeschreibung | The Persian Great King depicted in a dynamic running-kneeling pose facing right, wearing the kidaris (royal crown) and a long court robe with elaborate folds. The king holds a spear in his right hand extended forward and a bow in his left hand at his side, emblems of royal power and military authority. The figure is rendered in a schematic yet vigorous style characteristic of Achaemenid royal coinage, occupying the full field of the irregular flan. No legend or inscription appears; the design is purely pictorial, consistent with the 4th type B classification of the Royal Coinage series. |

The royal siglos changed little across successive reigns by deliberate policy — the Achaemenid court treated coinage as a statement of continuity, not individual kingship, which is why attributing specific pieces to Darius II versus Artaxerxes II remains an exercise in die typology rather than regnal epigraphy. This "4th type B middle" designation follows Carradice's classification system, the most widely accepted framework for sequencing the royal coinage, though the boundaries between sub-types are contested.
Sigloi circulated primarily in western Anatolia and served Persian military payroll functions — Xenophon records Cyrus the Younger paying Greek mercenaries in Persian silver before Cunaxa in 401 BC.
