Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin was used in ancient Thessaly, specifically in the city of Larissa, and it was a significant improvement over the previous coinage system. It was made of bronze and had a standardized weight of 4.6 grams, which made it easier to use in trade and commerce. This coin was also unique because it featured an image of a horse on one side and a grapevine on the other, which symbolized the region's agricultural wealth and its connection to the god Dionysus.
