WHAT DOES DARIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

daric

Persian daric

The daric was a gold coin used within the Persian Empire. Cyrus the Great introduced coins to the Persian Empire after 546 BC. Darius I introduced a thick gold coin which he named after himself, the daric, which had a standard weight of 8.4 grams. The gold used in the coins was of very high quality with a purity of 95.83% and it bore the image of the Persian king or a great warrior armed with a bow and arrow. Their use ended with Alexander the Great's invasion in 330 BC. Upon the invasion of Persia by Alexander they were melted down and recoined as coins of Alexander. This is believed to be the main reason for their rarity in spite of their widespread usage at the time. Close to the end of the 5th century BC, the Persian satraps in Asia Minor decided to strike their own coins. Darius considered such encroachment a crime punishable by death since the right of coinage was treated as an exclusively royal prerogative. The numismatic evidence does not permit identification of the image on the darics and sigloi as anything but that of the king; it was adopted by Darius as a dynamic expression of his royal power expressly for his coin issues.
