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 6.00 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of a horse on one side and a helmeted warrior on the other, symbolizing the strength and power of the city-state of Larissa. Despite being over 2,000 years old, some of these coins have survived to this day and are highly prized by collectors and historians.
