Persian Empire 2oz Silver Antique Coin
From the highlands of Persia rose an empire that would stretch from the Nile to the Indus — the largest the ancient world had ever seen. A beacon of governance, tolerance, and monumental ambition, it reigned from 550 to 330 BC, shaping the course of civilisation.
This 2oz silver coin presents a Persian sovereign in commanding high relief, flanked by the legendary Immortals — the empire's elite guard. The composition weaves together defining symbols of Persian greatness: the Cyrus Cylinder, regarded as the world's first declaration of human rights, a sacred Zoroastrian fire altar, the winged lion, and the gates of Babylon. Digital printing traces the vast reach of Persian dominion across the ancient map, while gilding illuminates the empire's iconic crest.
A powerful addition to The Legacy of the Greatest Empires collection, Persian Empire honours a civilisation whose innovations in law, infrastructure, and cultural exchange laid the foundations for the world to come.
