Interesting fact
The Trias coin was used during the reign of Agathocles, who was a tyrant of Syracuse in ancient Greece. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the city's economy. One of his notable achievements was the introduction of a new currency, which included the Trias coin, to replace the previous system of bartering and using foreign currencies. This coin was made of bronze and had a distinctive design, featuring the image of a man on one side and a woman on the other. It was used for everyday transactions and was an important part of the local economy during that time.
