Interesting fact
The Drachm coin , which features Kraterophron and Amynandros, is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a league of cities, rather than a single city or state. The Thessalian League was a confederation of cities in Thessaly, a region in central Greece, and this coin was one of the few coins that were issued jointly by the member cities. This coin is a unique representation of the political and economic alliances that existed in ancient Greece.
