Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Tyra (Skythia) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Tyra, which was located in the region of Skythia, modern-day Ukraine. The coin features an image of a mythical creature called a Griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek mythology. The Griffin was often depicted as a creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, and it was believed to have the power to protect treasure and wealth. The fact that this coin features a Griffin suggests that the people of Tyra valued strength, protection, and wealth, and saw the Griffin as a symbol of these values.
