Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Abdera (Thrace) featuring Hipponaktos (336 BC - 311 BC) is notable for its unique design. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Hipponaktos, while the reverse side depicts a grapevine with clusters of grapes. This design is significant because it represents the rich agricultural history of the region, particularly the cultivation of grapes for wine production. The coin itself is made of silver, which adds to its value and rarity.
