Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin was used in ancient Greece during the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The word "Hemiobol" comes from the Greek words "hēmi-" meaning "half" and "bolos" meaning "throw", which refers to the coin's value being equal to half the value of a full drachma, which was the standard unit of currency in ancient Greece.
