Interesting fact
The Euboian League Tetradrachm was the first silver coinage to be widely used in ancient Greece, and it set the standard for other city-states to follow. Its design featured a helmeted head of Athena on the obverse and a winged Nike on the reverse, symbolizing the power and victory of the Euboian League. The coin's use of silver as a material also signified the league's wealth and influence in the region.
