Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Corinth was used as a form of payment for the ancient Greeks, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called the "Pegasus," which was a winged horse. This coin was also used as a form of currency in other parts of the ancient Greek world, and its value was equivalent to one-sixth of a drachma, which was the standard unit of currency in ancient Greece.
