Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from the Uncertain Dacian tribes (Dacians) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Dacians and other civilizations in the region. Despite being made of silver, which was a valuable resource at the time, the coin was still widely used for everyday transactions, indicating the strong economy and trade networks of the Dacian tribes during this period.
