A gold coin current in Palestine after the return from Babylon. The Persian kings issued it; the obverse having the king with bow and javelin or dagger, the reverse a square; 128 grains troy. Ezra 2:69; Ezra 8:27; Nehemiah 7:70-72; 1 Chronicles 29:7, "drams" KJV. Derived from Darius the Mede, or else dara , "a king", the regal coin (compare our "crown".) The Greek drachma , our dram, is related.
