Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Oitaioi (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed approximately 2.82 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was an important medium of exchange during its time and was used to purchase everyday goods and services. Its design featured an image of the mythical creature, the Griffin, on one side and the profile of a helmeted warrior on the other.
