Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin from Kelenderis (Cilicia) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek world, specifically in the city of Kelenderis, which was located in the region of Cilicia (now modern-day Turkey). The coin was made of silver and weighed approximately 0.44 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Hemiobol was an important coin in the ancient Greek economy, as it was used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the city's wealth and prosperity.
