El Dracma es la moneda más conocida entre todas las que circularon en Grecia antiguamente. Las primeras monedas griegas aparecieron a principios del siglo VI a.C., en el reino de Lidia, Asia Menor. Al poco tiempo se extendieron en las ciudades griegas de Jonia del Egeo para luego ser utilizadas en por el resto del mundo griego. Durante esta época podemos diferenciar tres períodos:
Las monedas más conocidas de la antigua Grecia son: El Dracma, el Tetradracma y la Estátera, esta última acuñada en oro. Todas las monedas se hacían a mano, con grabados y presentaciones que garantizaban que el dinero era legal y cada ciudad contaba con cuños distintos para sus monedas.Una de las monedas más valoradas de la antigua Grecia es el Decadracma de Siracusa.
Las monedas griegas destacan por un diseño muy cuidado y trabajado. Es por eso que es un valor muy preciado para todo coleccionista. Las subastas son un punto de encuentro para todo aquel que busque piezas difíciles de conseguir, con grabados mitológicos o de animales reales, con reyes y regiones. Disponer de un trozo de historia, con más de 2000 años es ahora posible.
