Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Larissa (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed approximately 6.10 grams. Despite its small size, this coin played a significant role in the ancient Greek economy, as it was widely used for trade and commerce. In fact, the Drachm was the first standardized coinage system in ancient Greece, paving the way for the development of other coinage systems in the region.
