Interesting fact
The Obol coin was used as a form of payment for ancient Greek workers, particularly those who worked in the silver mines. It was valued at one-sixth of a drachma, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. This coin played an important role in the economy of ancient Greece, particularly in the region of Argolis, where it was minted.
