Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Kyme (Aeolis) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and its design has been found to be quite unique. The coin features a helmeted head of Athena on one side and an owl on the other, which was a symbol of wisdom and intelligence. The use of these symbols on the coin indicates the importance of wisdom and intelligence in the ancient Greek culture.
