Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Halikarnassos (now Bodrum, Turkey) during the 2nd century BC. It features the image of a mythical creature called a Griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek mythology. The coin's design was meant to convey the city's wealth and power, and it was used for trade and commerce throughout the region.
