Iran's civilization in the Achaemenid era is the peak of the civilization of a nation that built and shaped the first empire of the ancient world. In less than a hundred years, this civilization managed to make the sum total of all previous and adjacent civilizations into an excellent, moderate and balanced combination and spread this model from India to Libya and Greece. Obviously, the Achaemenid civilization acted on the basis of its own beliefs and system, and without insisting on changing the shape of the civilizations of the conquered lands and replacing itself, it was able to form and manage a multicultural world.
According to Herdudt, the Ladys were the first people to mint coins and Darius I was the first person to mint coins in Iran. He minted gold and silver coins with names and shapes, weighing 41.8 grams and 6.5 grams, respectively. On the first Achaemenid coins, the image of the king can be seen in the form of a Persian archer.
The financial power of the Achaemenids was very high, so that the monthly salary of each foreign soldier in the Iranian army was equal to one gold coin (drake).
Most of the Achaemenid tableware were formed by hammering or joining metal sheets together. The images on the dishes were first painted and engraved on the dish and then polished. Examination of these containers has determined that many of them have a high purity level of 97 to 99 percent. The amount and number of metal sheets used for a specific dish was evaluated and estimated with a coin unit.
