Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin was used in the ancient Greek city of Caria, which is now modern-day Turkey. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other. Despite its small size, the Hemiobol was an important coin in ancient times, as it was used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the city's wealth and power.
