What does SIGLOS mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A silver coin of ancient Persia, equal to one twentieth of a gold daric.
The Persian empire minted the siglos as its standard silver coin, and it circulated widely alongside the gold daric in trade across the ancient Near East. Each siglos typically showed a royal figure holding a bow, a design that helped merchants recognize genuine Persian currency. Historians and numismatists still use the word siglos when cataloguing surviving examples from archaeological sites. The coin's name and value survive mainly in historical and numismatic writing rather than everyday language.
