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 Ampurias in Spain. The coin features an image of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and an image of a dolphin on the other, which symbolizes the city's connection to the sea. The use of silver in the coin's composition also signifies the city's wealth and importance in the ancient Greek world.
