Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Larissa (Thessaly) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. Its name "Trihemiobol" comes from the Greek words "tri", meaning three, and "hemiobol", meaning a half-obol, which refers to the coin's value being equal to three half-obols. Despite its small value, the Trihemiobol was widely used in trade and commerce throughout ancient Greece, and its design has been found in many different variations, making it a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
