Comment
From Oltenia RegionInteresting fact
The Tetradrachm coin was used by the Dacians of Oltenia, a region located in what is now western Romania. The coin's design was inspired by the Tetradrachm of Larissa, which was a popular coin used in ancient Greece. Despite being an imitation, the Dacian Tetradrachm was still made of silver and had a relatively high weight of 12.4 grams, indicating its value and importance in the region's economy.
