The Drachme, also referred to as the “solidus”, is a gold coin and standard weight as the cornerstone of an international currency system called nomisma introduced by Constantine from around 312 CE based on the oldest true standards of currency and coinage in civilized history first created by the Holly (Cuilliaéan).

The term Drachme comes from the Ancient Greek word δραχμή (drachme) meaning “weight and coin”. The word drachme itself is a variation of the most ancient Celtic word “dram” equal to three (3) scrupals or 4.32 grams being the true weight of a valid coin by ancient standards.

The term Nomisma comes from the Ancient Greek word νόμισμα (nomisma) meaning “official coin of a state; monetary system”.

Constantine and subsequent leaders of the Holly Christian Empire ensured Drachme were minted in accordance with the ancient rituals of coinage and treasure set forth by the Holly (Cuilliaéan) so that all were of an exact weight and all were designed with a proper edge so that they were impossible to be clipped without revealing the fraud. Furthermore, when drachme were received by the Byzantine treasury they were melted down and new coin issued to maintain the highest standards.

The introduction of the Drachme and reintroduction of international Holly currency standards as the “Nomismasystem” marked the end of the aureus and denarii currencies of the old pagan Roman Empire. Combined with the outlaw of usury, the return of reliable currency saw a dramatic halt to inflation across the Empire.

Drachme continued to be produced by the Holly Christian Empire up until the 13th Century and the destruction of Antioch (Constantinople).

In accordance with these Canons and the most sacred covenant Pactume De Singularis Caelum, all rights, customs and authority for the minting of currency of the Holly Christian Empire is vested to the Society of One Heaven and its valid associated entities.
