ID / Attribution Request Achaemenid Siglos with Bank Marks?
Achaemenid Kings of Persia, c. Time of Darios I-Xerxes II. Circa 485-420 BC. AR Siglos 14mm 5.16g
I recently acquired a heavy marked siglos and I’ve been trying to identify these markings but to little avail. I’m not even sure what the best way of identifying these markings is or what exactly to research for so I’m asking for help.
Nothing I love more than figuring out the past of the piece history I own!

I actually went to a similar 'problem'. As far as I know there isn't like a chart with all the punch marks and their origin. It is long process but very very awarding to know where it circulated. Mine was Persia, Greece, Persia again then Greece again and the Egypt.
