Interesting fact

The Obol coin from Oitaioi (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the region of Thessaly, and was made of silver. It's interesting to note that the Obol coin was the smallest denomination of ancient Greek coinage, and it was equivalent to one-sixth of a drachma, which was the standard unit of currency in ancient Greece.
