This quarter siglos was struck during a turbulent period of Persian imperial history from the reign of Xerxes II to Artaxerxes II. Xerxes II reigned only briefly before he was murdered. His successor, Darius II Ochus is said to have been dominated by his wife and induced Sparta to make war on Athens. His son, Artaxerxes II, repelled the mercenary army of his brother as chronicled by Xenophon, and continued to incite conflict between Sparta and Athens as a means of restoring Persian control over western Asia Minor. Considering the period of issue, this coin is likely to have paid Greek mercenaries in Persian service or contributed to the funds placed at the disposal of Sparta for prosecuting the war with Athens.

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
查看翻譯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.
Nice coins. Thanks!
