Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Rhodes, made of silver and weighing 3.93g, is interesting because it features a unique design on its obverse side, showcasing a radiate head of the Greek god Helios, who was revered as the patron deity of the island of Rhodes. This design was used during the reign of the Macedonian king, Demetrius II, who ruled Rhodes from 84 BC to 30 BC. The coin's design and the use of silver as its material reflect the cultural and economic significance of Rhodes during that time period.
