Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Emporion (Hispania) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek colony 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 importance of the sea in the region's economy and trade.
