Thanks John,
Indeed Lanz and fakes are not unknown pair on the internet. In fact, his ebay site is quite full of (Well-marked) ones.
That said, that doesn't answer the question as to this specific coin, which remains a total mystery.
All I can find on the internet are vague references to the existence of fractional Persian gold pieces.
Additionally, I do see that the two-stamp types fade out quite early in the Persian empire, replaced by the standardized high-purity Daric.
Any contribution to this thread would be greatly appreciated!
