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 around 6.17 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was an important medium of exchange during its time and was used to purchase goods and services. It's fascinating to think about how such a small object could have played a significant role in the economy of ancient Greece!
