Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Larissa (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed around 6.15 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 that over 2,000 years ago, people were using coins like this to buy the things they needed, just like we use money today!
