Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Pelinna (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. It features an image of a mythical creature called a Griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek culture. The Griffin was often depicted as a creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, and it was believed to have the power to protect against evil spirits and treasure. The use of the Griffin image on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea of protection and security for the people who used it.
