Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin from Mallos (Cilicia) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Mallos, which was located in the region of Cilicia in modern-day Turkey. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "MALLOS" in Greek letters. Despite its small size, the coin was an important part of the local economy and was used to purchase everyday goods and services.
