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 the image of a dolphin on one side and the goddess Aphrodite on the other, signifying the city's strong maritime trade and cultural ties to the Greek world.
