The basic unit of currency was known as the drachma.

The denominations of coins were based off of the drachma, such as tetradrachmas and dekadrachmas. The standard unit of gold coins is known to numismatists as the stater. Other gold coins such as the half stater and quarter stater are based off of the stater.
