Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin was used in the ancient Greek city of Emporion, which is now modern-day Spain, and it was the first coin to feature the image of a human, specifically the Greek goddess Hera. This was a significant departure from the traditional depiction of animals or abstract symbols on coins at the time, and it marked a shift towards more human-centric designs in coinage.
