Hold the history of one of the world's greatest empires in your hands, with this genuine Persian Silver Siglos - struck nearly 2,500 years ago!

As Alexander the Great swept across the world, Persia stood in his way. A powerful empire stretching from Bulgaria in the west to Egypt in the east, Persia at one point ruled 44% of the world's population - the highest such figure for any empire in history! Struck under Xerxes I (486-465BC) and Artaxerxes I (465-424BC), each coin portrays the Great King, armed with a bow and a spear.
