Interesting fact
The Diobol coin from Messana (Sicily) made of Silver weighing 1.11g has an interesting fact that it was used as a form of currency during the Samian occupation of Zancle (modern-day Messina) in the 5th century BC. It was a standard circulation coin during that time and is a valuable piece of history for numismatists and historians.
