Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin from Kebren (Troad) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city of Kebren, which is now modern-day Turkey. The coin's name "Hemiobol" comes from the Greek words "hēmi-" meaning "half" and "bolos" meaning "thrower," likely referring to the coin's value being half that of a full drachma.
