Interesting fact
The Chalkon coin was used in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC, and its design featured the image of a horse on one side and a flower on the other. This coin was unique because it was made of bronze, which was a more durable material than the silver or gold coins that were commonly used at the time. The use of bronze for coins was a sign of innovation and progress in ancient Greece, and it paved the way for the development of more durable and practical currency in the future.
