Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Sikyon (Sikyonia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed around 5.66 grams. Despite its small size, it was a valuable currency at the time and was used for various transactions, including trade and commerce. It's interesting to note that the Drachm coin was also used as a medium of exchange in other parts of the ancient world, including the Roman Empire. Its use spread beyond Greece and became a widely accepted form of currency in the region. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
