Explanation:
Darius I (521–486 BC) introduced a new thick gold coin which had a standard weight of 8.4 grams,[3][4] equaling in value 20 silver coins. The gold used in the coins was of very high quality with a purity of 95.83%[5] and it bore the image of the Persian king or a great warrior armed with a bow and arrow.

This is believed to be the main reason for their rarity, in spite of their widespread usage at the time.[5]
