Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Herakleia (Akarnania) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the region of Akarnania, during the 4th century BC. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features the image of a mythical creature called the "Akarnanian Bull," which was a symbol of strength and power in ancient Greek mythology. The coin's silver content and intricate design made it a valuable and highly sought-after form of currency during its time.
