Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin was used in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC, and its name comes from the Greek words "hēmi-" meaning "half" and "bolos" meaning "throw". This refers to the fact that the coin was worth half of a full "bolos" or "stater" coin, which was the standard unit of currency at the time.
