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 approximately 5.97 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 about how something so small could have played such a significant role in the economy of ancient Greece!
