Interesting fact

The Hemidrachm coin from Pharsalos (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. Its name "Hemidrachm" means "half drachma," and it was valued at half the weight of a standard drachma coin. Despite its relatively small value, the Hemidrachm was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the ancient Greek world.
