The drachma, the currency of Greece, has a rich history dating back centuries. The 100 and 50 drachmas bills were once widely used before Greece adopted the euro in 2002. However, it is the coins that truly capture the essence of this ancient currency. One such coin is the tetradrachm portraying Emperor Otho from 69 CE. Issued by the city of Antioch, it showcases intricate details and serves as a testament to Roman influence during that era. Another remarkable coin is the tetradrachm depicting a Macedonian Shield with the Goddess Artemis from 158-149 BCE. This exquisite piece not only reflects Greek mythology but also highlights Macedonia's military prowess. King Mithradates IV takes center stage on a drachm coin created by an unknown artist between 130-47 BCE. Its mysterious creator adds an air of intrigue to this historical artifact. Emperor Augustus graces another significant coin called Cistophoric Tetradrachm around 25 BCE. This particular piece symbolizes Rome's dominance over Asia Minor during his reign. Moving forward in time, we encounter King Gotarzes II on a drachm coin crafted by an unknown artist between 40-51 CE. The regal portrait captures both power and authority associated with ancient monarchs. King Orodes I makes his mark on yet another drachm coin produced by an anonymous creator between 57-37 BCE. This timeless masterpiece stands as a testament to Parthian rule during this period. A hemidrachm depicting a Boeotian Shield harks back even further to about 338-315 BCE when shields played crucial roles in warfare tactics across ancient Greece. King Phraate IV's presence can be felt through another captivating drachm coin made by an unknown artist from 38-32 BCE. It offers insight into Parthian culture and the reign of this influential ruler.
