Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Phlious (Phliasia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed approximately 5.67 grams. Despite its small size, this coin held significant value in its time and was used for everyday transactions, such as buying goods and services. It's fascinating to think about how a small, seemingly insignificant coin like this one played a vital role in the economy of ancient Greece, and how it has been preserved and studied by historians and numismatists for centuries.
