Interesting fact
The Drachm (Oloosson) coin from Perrhaiboi (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed around 6.44 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of a bull on one side and a plow on the other, symbolizing the agricultural wealth of the region. Despite its age, some of these coins have been well-preserved and are highly sought after by collectors today.
