Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Oitaioi (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the region of Thessaly, during the 4th century BC. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a unique combination of elements, including a helmeted head of Athena on the obverse (front side) and a horse on the reverse (back side). This coin was also made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time.
