<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 3571805, member: 75799&quot;]Perhaps. I am not an expert on this field as well&nbsp; The article you provided seem to focus on the post Daric sigloi of the warrior king. That one I totally agree. </p><p><br /></p><p>However my take is that Croesus kingdom was not that big thus likelihood of significant variation to the central design seems low. Also, Croesus issues have a high degree of artistic detail to them. Almost Greek like in their design. This specimen on the other hand displays a rather stylised form particularly the bull. The weight also seems to conform to the Achaemenid standard but that could also be attributed to the fact that Cyrus copied the Lydian standard. Finally, the flan seems irregular and appears to have poorer quality control unlike the almost globular issues of Croesus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, either Croesus or Cyrus, this siglo circulated around the period and reigns of 2 historically significant individuals.. Something which I like about my coins associated with a story, personality or historical event[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
