Illyrian Coin - Silver Drachm

Description

History of the Artifact
The Illyrian drachma coins minted in Apollonia, a city located in present-day Albania, are notable examples of ancient Greek coinage from the region. These coins, produced between the 5th and 1st centuries BCE, were essential in facilitating trade and commerce in the Adriatic and beyond. Apollonia's drachmas typically featured distinctive designs, including depictions of mythological figures, local deities, and symbols significant to the city.
A common motif displayed on these coins is a cow with a calf, symbolizing fertility and prosperity. The high craftsmanship and artistry of these coins reflect the city's economic and cultural significance in the ancient world. Their circulation extended well beyond Illyria, indicating the broad influence of Apollonia's economy and the widespread acceptance of its currency.
