Comment
Weight varies from 3.11g-3.31gInteresting fact
The Drachm coin from Rome, made of silver and weighing 3.31g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Roman Republic, a time of great expansion and development for the Roman Empire. Despite being over 2,000 years old, some of these coins have survived the test of time and are still highly sought after by collectors today.
