Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin from Neandria (Troad) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city of Neandria, which was located in the Troad region. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.30 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Hemiobol was widely used for trade and commerce, and it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
