<p> Daric. (From Dara, a king). Authorized Version, "dram," 1 Chronicles 29:7; Ezra 2:69; Ezra 8:27; Nehemiah 7:70-72. A gold coin current in Palestine, in the period after the return from Babylon. It weighed 128 grains, and was worth about five dollars. </p> <p> At these times, there was no large issue of gold money except by the [[Persian]] kings. The darics which have been discovered are thick pieces of pure gold, of archaic style, bearing on the obverse the figure of a king with bow and javelin or bow and dagger, and on the reverse an irregular incuse square. The silver daric was worth about fifty cents. </p> | |||
