Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Kleitor (Arkadia) was minted during the reign of King Demetrius III, who ruled the Seleucid Empire from 90 BC to 85 BC. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and was made of silver, weighing 2.30 grams. It's interesting to note that the Hemidrachm coin was a widely used denomination during the Hellenistic period and was minted by several different cities and rulers.
