Several Greek cities adopted coinage based on the Persian standard due to their commercial relationships and political influences from the Persian Empire. Some specific examples include:

1. Sardis: This city is notably significant as it was a center where Persian-style coins, particularly the gold daric and silver siglos, were minted. Sardis was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia and later a major city in the Persian Empire.

2. Notion: An ancient Greek city located in western Turkey, where Persian gold coins were discovered, indicating the influence of Persian coin standards.

3. Other Ionia Cities: Various cities in Ionia, such as Ephesus and Miletus, also issued coins that followed the Persian standard due to their proximity and interactions with the Persian Empire.

These cities leveraged the Persian coinage system, which facilitated trade and economic integration within the extensive networks of the Persian Empire.
