(1 Chronicles 29:7; Ezra 2:69; 8:27; Nehemiah 7:70-72) where
the Authorized Version has "dram." It is the rendering of the Hebrew
darkemon and the Greek dareikos. It was a gold coin, bearing the
figure of a Persian King with his crown and armed with bow and arrow.
It was current among the Jews after their return from Babylon, i.e.,
while under the Persian domination. It weighed about 128 grains

money. It is the first coin mentioned in Scripture, and is the oldest
that history makes known to us.
