<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Erhan, post: 3560252, member: 104070&quot;]Today I got one of the best coins in my collection. This coin feels great in hand . It is heavy 27 gram silver coin with iconic image of great Persian king Darius on a chariot. It shows the Egyptian ruler walking behind (A great propaganda of the day on the coin). What I also love about this coin is detail of his hand raised commanding or saluting the crowd.</p><p>Please post your similar coins of Achaemenid dynasty</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]946572[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]946571[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><b>PHOENICIA, Sidon. <i>Ba`alšillem (Sakton) II. </i></b>Circa 401-365 BC.
