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 1.06 grams. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΑΥΤΟΚΑΝΗ" (Autokane), which means "self-sufficient" in ancient Greek. This coin was used during the 4th century BC and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
