<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4484095, member: 74834&quot;]I&#039;m reviving this very ancient thread. I just bought a few fractional sigloi, and there&#039;s not much to find on the internet about these. Something on <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=siglos" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=siglos" rel="nofollow">NumisWiki</a>, but for instance none of these is mentioned in Mitchiner. Suggestions are welcome! I think there are some forms in the incuse reverses, but I can&#039;t decide what it is.</p><p>(Sorry for this cent, but it&#039;s the only one I have).</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a 1/24th siglos, my second smallest coin. </p><p>Obv. Persian king or hero in kneeling-running stance right, holding dagger and bow (?) Rev. Incuse punch with some symbol in it (?). 5 mm, 0.21 gr.
