Definition

• Another name for the early Persian Sekel or Shekel. It was the twentieth part of the gold Darie in value, and its weight was the one hundredth part of the Mina.

  Like the Darie, the Sigloi were also popularly known as Archers from the representation of a bowman on the obverse.

  The later Jewish Sekel or Shekel (q.v.) has only the name in common with this coin.
