Interesting fact
The Hemiobol coin from Kyme (Aeolis) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city of Kyme, which was located in the region of Aeolis. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.25 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 piece of history for numismatists and collectors today.
