<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kazuma78, post: 4917950, member: 17304&quot;]My brother in law had a son this year and named him Cyrus so I talked to him about buying an original coin from the time of Cyrus. He loved the idea so i bid on this one for him today and won! Even though its VF, it has great centering and is a nice coin. I also really liked that it has a decent provenance which I find to be pretty rare for this type. Feel free to post your coins of Cyrus and any other coins you&#039;ve talked friends or family into. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1185166[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>KINGS of LYDIA. <i>temp.</i> Cyrus – Darios I. </b>Circa 550/39-520 BC.
