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 5.85 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 importance of horse breeding and warfare in ancient Greek culture.
