Interesting fact
The Tetrobol - Kleantides coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Abdera, located in Thrace, during the 4th century BC. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not worth a significant amount, with its value equivalent to only a few dollars in today's currency. However, its historical significance and rarity make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
