Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm (Olynthos) coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Olynthos, which was located in the region of Macedon. The coin features an image of a youthful male figure, known as a kouros, on one side, and an image of a horse on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed approximately 14.61 grams. It was minted in 410 BC and was used for trade and commerce within the city-state and beyond. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
