An ancient Greek coin worth ten drachmas.
From Greek 'deka-' (ten) and 'drachma' (a unit of weight and currency). Ancient Greeks combined number prefixes with monetary units to name their coins.
Greek coins were named by their weight in drachmas—so a dekadrachm was literally 'ten drachmas worth'—and archaeologists still find these coins buried in Mediterranean ruins.
