Interesting fact
The Tetartemorion coin from Thebes (Boeotia) made of Silver weighing 0.24 g is interesting because it features the image of a mythical creature called the "Tetartemorion," which is a creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. This coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
