The danake or '''' (Greek: ) was a small silver coin of the Persian Empire (Old Persian ), 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.
