Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Trachy coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Second Bulgarian Empire, which was a medieval state that existed from 1185 to 1396. The coin was made of bronze and weighed 1.1 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Trachy coin played an important role in the economy of the empire and was used for everyday transactions.
