Siglos was the Greek transliteration of the Semitic denomination „shekel” which became a standard weight unit for silver in the Achaemenid Persian Empire after the conquest of Babylonia by Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. Ironically, silver sigloi seem to have been struck primarily in the western part of the empire and the standard went on to influence several Greek civic and royal coinages in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.

you sent me a cheaper coin and when I asked to send me the right one, you said".. I won't be able to find it". It's all in our messages. It's a pity other clients can't check it. NEGATIVE

Seller's response

Due to the mistake I offered a refund. The buyer was not interested. Maybe he wanted an extra bonus? However, it is probably not even possible to find a cheaper coin than the one bought for €4. This is precisely the subject of the dispute. P.S. The buyer has already changed the content of the comment 4 times.

Muy bonita. Bien empaquetada. Finalmente bien servida. Ha valido la pena comprarla.. Gracias.
