Interesting fact
The Drachm coin was used in the ancient Greek city of Caria, which is now modern-day Turkey. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "KARIAN" in ancient Greek letters. This coin was used as a form of currency for trade and commerce in the region and is a valuable piece of history for numismatists and archaeologists today.
