Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Tanagra (Boeotia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a mythical creature called the "Tanagra Hare" on its obverse side. The Tanagra Hare is a rare and unique design element found only on coins from this specific region and time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
