The tetradrachma was an ancient Greek silver coin commonly used during Biblical times. It was worth four drachmas (hence the name "tetra" meaning four).

The tetradrachma was widely circulated across the Greek world and surrounding regions, including areas mentioned in the Bible. It served as a major currency for trade and taxation.
