Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin was used in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called the "Chimera." The Chimera was a creature with the body of a lion, the head of a goat, and the tail of a serpent. It was said to be a fierce and powerful creature, and its image was often used on coins and other artifacts to symbolize strength and protection.
