Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Abdera (Thrace) featuring Pytho (336 BC - 311 BC) was made of silver and weighed 2.37 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a image of Pytho, who was a mythical creature in ancient Greek mythology, half-woman and half-snake. This design was likely chosen to symbolize the city's connection to the mythological stories and legends of the time.
