Interesting fact
The Drachm - Koson coin from the Uncertain Dacian tribes (Dacians) made of Silver weighing 4.08 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during the reign of Koson, who was a Dacian king that ruled over the western part of Dacia (modern-day Romania) during the 1st century BC. The coin features an image of Koson on one side and a depiction of a wolf on the other, which was a symbol of strength and power in Dacian culture. Despite its age, some of these coins have been well-preserved and can still be found in good condition, making them highly sought after by collectors and historians.
