Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm - Choregos coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Maroneia (Thrace) during the 4th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed around 11.27 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and the name of the city, Maroneia, on the other. The coin's design and weight were carefully regulated by the ancient Greek city-states to ensure that they were consistent and trustworthy forms of currency. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
