Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of a tetradrachm of Philip II, which was a coin used in ancient Greece. The Dacians of Oltenia, who lived in what is now Romania, created their own version of this coin, which was made of silver and weighed 12.35 grams. This imitation coin was likely used for trade and commerce within the Dacian kingdom.
