Interesting fact

The Drachm coin from the Uncertain Philistian city (Cities of Philistia) was used as a form of currency during a time of significant cultural and economic exchange between the Philistines and their neighboring civilizations, including the ancient Greeks and Persians. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not as valuable as some other coins of its time, and its value was equivalent to about 1/4 of a standard Greek drachma.
