Interesting fact
The Dichalkon coin from Tripolis (Phoenician cities) has an interesting fact that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, who ruled from 51 BC until her death in 30 BC. This means that this coin was in circulation during a significant period of history, and it's fascinating to think about the transactions and trade that it may have facilitated during that time.
