dar´ik ( דּרכּמון , darkemōn , and אדרכּון , 'adharkōn ; δαρεικός , dareikós ): A P ersian gold coin about a guinea or five dollars in value. The first form of the word occurs in 1 Chronicles 29:7; Ezra 2:69 , and Nehemiah 7:70-72; the second in Ezra 8:27 and is rendered, "dram" in the King James Version and "daric" in the Revised Version (British and American). In the passage in Chronicles, it must refer to a weight, since at the time of David there were no coins, but in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah the Persian darics were current. See MONEY .
