Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Mykalessos (Boeotia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a horned animal, possibly a bull or a goat, on one side, which was a common symbol of fertility and prosperity in ancient Greek culture.
