Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Klazomenai (Ionia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed approximately 3.83 grams. Despite its small size, this coin played a significant role in the economy of the time, as it was widely used for trade and commerce.
