Weighing about 8.35 grams in high-purity gold, this NGC Ancients AU specimen depicts a bearded king-hero in a dynamic kneeling run, grasping a spear and bow on the obverse. The reverse shows a simple incuse punch, typical of archaic designs. Its near-uncirculated condition preserves sharp details, highlighting ancient minting techniques.
Beyond numismatics, the Daric embodies Achaemenid legacy, referenced in the Bible and used to pay mercenaries. Collectors value it for rarity and historical ties to epic events like the Persian Wars, making it a bridge to antiquity's power and artistry.
