Interesting fact
The Drachm - Antiandros coin from Miletos (Ionia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. It features an image of a lion's head on one side and the Greek god Apollo on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 3.60 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and weight were standardized across different city-states in ancient Greece, indicating a high level of economic cooperation and trade between these regions.
