Daric:

(from dara, a king) Authorized Version "dram," (1 Chronicles 29:7; Ezra 2:69; 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 [A.D. 1884 ‐ BLB Ed.]. 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 hold, 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.
