Interesting fact
The Trichalkon coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Gonnos in Thessaly, and its design features a unique blend of three different metals - copper, tin, and silver. This tri-metallic composition was a distinctive feature of ancient Greek coinage and was used to ensure the coin's authenticity and value.
