Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm - Neomenias coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Maroneia, located in the region of Thrace (now modern-day Bulgaria). The coin features an image of the goddess Demeter on one side and a grapevine on the other, symbolizing the city's rich agricultural heritage. Despite its small size, the coin was an important medium of exchange in the ancient Greek world and played a significant role in the economy of Maroneia.
