Comment
Imitation of later Massaliotan light drachms (see example in link).Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Adriatic Veneti (Cisalpine Gaul) was used as a form of currency during the 200 BC - 175 BC time period. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time. Additionally, the coin weighed 2.51 grams, which is a relatively small weight for a coin, indicating that it was likely used for smaller transactions or as a form of change.
