Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin was used in the ancient city of Troy during the 5th century BC. It was a small silver coin that was worth one-half of an obol, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The Hemiobol coin was used for small transactions and was widely used by the people of Troy for everyday purchases. Despite its small value, the Hemiobol coin was an important part of the ancient Trojan economy and was used for many years.
