Interesting fact
The Chalkon coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Ephesos (now modern-day Selçuk, Turkey) during the 4th century BC. It was made of bronze and weighed around 1.48 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Chalkon coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the ancient Greek world. It's a fascinating piece of history that gives us a glimpse into the economic and cultural practices of ancient civilizations!
