Greek Money: Empúries

Friday 08, April, 2022 19 h. - Friday 08, April, 2022

Palau Solterra, Torroella de Montgrí

From the 7^th century BC to the 6^th century BC, the Greek inhabitants of Lydia realised how useful it was to make payments by using pieces of metal with a fixed weight, alloy and value, and they began to mint coins with images stamped onto them to serve as a guarantee. These coins already have all the specifications that would later define metallic coinage: a typology, an alloy and a weight that are all decreed by an authority, which guarantees the money and endows it with a fixed set value. The main unit in the Greek monetary system was the silver drachma, which was minted in larger denominations – the tetradrachm and decadrachm – and smaller ones such as the most well-known coin, the obol, which was equivalent to one sixth of a drachma.
