Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Hemiobol coin from Kolophon (Ionia) is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a crescent moon, a star, and a dolphin. These symbols likely held cultural or religious significance for the ancient Greeks who used the coin, and their inclusion on the coin may have been intended to convey certain values or beliefs. Additionally, the coin's design and imagery may have been influenced by the city's location on the coast of modern-day Turkey, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the ancient world.
