Hemiobol 550 BC - 500 BC

The Hemiobol coin from Ephesos (Ionia) made of Silver weighing 0.49 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city of Ephesos, and it has a unique design that reflects the culture and mythology of the time. The coin features an image of the Greek goddess Artemis, who was revered as a protector of the city, and on the reverse side, it has a stag's head, which was a symbol of the city's wealth and prosperity. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the economic, social, and cultural practices of ancient Greece.
