Interesting fact
The Drachm with a triangular head, like the one , was used in the region of Gallia Narbonensis (present-day southern France) during the 1st century BC. It was a standard circulation coin made of silver and weighed around 2.51 grams. What's interesting is that the triangular head on the coin was actually a symbol of the Roman Republic, and it was used to indicate that the coin was issued by a Roman authority. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the region at the time.
