Interesting fact

The Drachm coin from Mylasa (Caria) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Mylasa, which is now located in modern-day Turkey. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΜΥΛΑΣΑ" (Mylasa) in ancient Greek letters. This coin was used for everyday transactions and was also used as a form of payment for goods and services. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used by people living over 2,000 years ago and has been preserved for us to study and appreciate today!
