Interesting fact
The Aetolian League was a confederation of cities in ancient Greece that was formed in the 3rd century BC. The league was known for its military prowess and its ability to mint coins that were widely accepted throughout the region. The Æ20 coin was one of the most widely used coins in the league's territory and was often used for trade and commerce. Despite its small weight, the coin was valued for its durability and portability, making it a popular choice for merchants and traders.
