Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Perrhaiboi (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the Hellenistic period. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features the image of a mythical creature called the "Perrhaibian nymph" on one side, and the Greek god Apollo on the other. This coin was also known for its high silver content, which made it a valuable form of currency during that time.
