Interesting fact
The Aetolian League's Drachm coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 3rd century BC. It was made of silver and weighed approximately 4.93 grams. The coin features an image of a boar on one side and the Aetolian League's emblem on the other. The boar was a symbol of strength and bravery in ancient Greek culture, and the Aetolian League's use of this image on their currency reflected their desire to project power and influence in the region.
