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 6.12 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was an important medium of exchange during that time, and it features an image of a horse on its obverse side, which was a symbol of strength and power in ancient Greek culture.
