Comment
Paulsen pl. 34, 795-797.Interesting fact
The Hexadrachm (Cobrovomarus Type) from Boii was used as a form of currency in ancient India, specifically during the rule of the Indo-Greek kingdoms. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used in everyday transactions, and it's a great example of how currency has evolved over time.
