Interesting fact
The Æ10 coin from Autokane (Aeolis) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and was equivalent to 10 drachmas. It was made of bronze and weighed 1.1 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce, and its design featured an image of a mythical creature, such as a griffin or a sphinx, which was a symbol of the city's wealth and power.
