Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Emporion (Hispania) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Emporion, which is now modern-day Spain. The coin features an image of the Greek goddess Hera on one side and a dolphin on the other, symbolizing the city's connection to the sea. The use of silver in the coin's composition also signifies its value and importance in trade and commerce during that time period.
