If they were silver drachmas, their current worth would equate to roughly 65 cents.

Historically, Greeks considered drachmas to be equivalent to the denarius, but this equivalence was not recognized by the Romans.

Specifically, if the coins were silver denarii, their value would be approximately $4 to 5 million dollars.
