Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from the Uncertain Philistian city (Cities of Philistia) made of Silver weighing 3.52 g is interesting because it is one of the earliest known coins to feature an image of a real person. The obverse of the coin depicts a bearded man, believed to be a king or a deity, making it a unique and significant artifact in the history of numismatics.
