Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Corinth was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and was considered a standard unit of exchange. It was made of silver and weighed approximately 2.77 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it featured the image of a mythical creature called the Pegasus, which was a winged horse. This image was a symbol of the city of Corinth and represented its wealth and power. The use of the Pegasus on the coin was a way for the city to showcase its rich history and culture, and it remains a fascinating piece of history for collectors and historians today.
