The danake or danace (Greek: δανάκη) was a small silver coin of the Persian Empire (Old Persian dânake), equivalent to the Greek obol and circulated among the eastern Greeks. Later it was used by the Greeks in other metals. The 2nd-century AD grammarian Julius Pollux gives the name as danikê or danakê or danikon and says that it was a Persian coin, but by Pollux's time this was an anachronism.

  • The danake or danace (Greek: δανάκη) was a small silver coin of the Persian Empire (Old Persian dânake), equivalent to the Greek obol and circulated among the eastern Greeks. Later it was used by the Greeks in other metals. The 2nd-century AD grammarian Julius Pollux gives the name as danikê or danakê or danikon and says that it was a Persian coin, but by Pollux's time this was an anachronism. The term as used by archaeologists is vague in regard to denomination. A single coin buried with the dead and made of silver or gold is often referred to as a danake and presumed to be a form of Charon's obol. Numismatists have also found the danake an elusive coin to identify, speculating that the Greeks used the term loosely for a demonetized coin of foreign origin. In Persia, the danake was originally a unit of weight for bulk silver, representing one-eighth of a shekel (1.05 gm). This use of the word became obsolete. In the Hellenistic period and later it designated the silver Attic obol, which originally represented the sixth part of a drachma; in New Persian dâng means "one sixth". (en)

  • Dânaca (em grego: Δανάκη; romaniz.: Danáke) foi uma pequena moeda de prata do Império Aquemênida (em persa antigo: dânake) que equivalia ao óbolo grego e circulou entre os gregos orientais. Mais tarde viria a ser utilizada pelos gregos em outros metais. O gramático do século II Júlio Pólux dá o nome como danikê, danakê ou danikon e diz que foi uma moeda persa, mas pelo tempo de Pólux essa acepção é um anacronismo. O termo, tal como utilizado pelos arqueólogos, é vago quando a . As moedas de prata ou ouro sepultadas com os mortos são frequentemente referidas como dânacas e presume-se que seriam uma forma do óbolo de Caronte. Numismatas também têm notado a dânaca como uma moeda elusiva de identidade, especulando que os gregos usavam o termo livremente para moedas desmonetizadas de origem estrangeira. Na Pérsia, a dânaca foi originalmente uma unidade de peso para volume de prata, representando 1⁄18 de um xéquel (1.05 gm). Este uso da palavra tornar-se-ia obsoleto. No período helenístico e mais adiante ele designou o óbolo de prata da Ática, que originalmente representou a sexta parte de um dracma; no persa novo dâng significa "um sexto". (pt)
