Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Lydians were said to be the originators of gold and silver coins. During their brief hegemony over Asia Minor from the middle of the 7th to the middle of the 6th century bc, the Lydians profoundly influenced the Ionian Greeks to their west.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Lydians believed that the ancient traditional system of barter was too slow and very cumbersome. Private coins, contracts, invoices and bills of credit were useful but often untrustworthy, inconsistent and inaccurate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Croeseid, anciently Kroiseioi stateres, was a type of coin, either in gold or silver, which was minted in Sardis by the king of Lydia Croesus (561–546 BC) from around 550 BC.
