Comment
Weights generally from 1.0 - 1.3 grams. On the Attic standard (~4.3 gram drachma), this coin is between an Obol (~0.72 grams) and Diobol (1.43 grams). Other catalogs have it listed incorrectly as obol, diobol, and even drachma, despite the weight.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an early image of a lion, which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Greece. The lion was also associated with the god Apollo, who was revered in Miletos, and the coin may have been used as a form of currency in trade and commerce.
