Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient city of Selge, which was located in the region of Pisidia (now modern-day Turkey). The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.9 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Trihemiobol was widely used for trade and commerce, and it remains a valuable artifact for collectors and historians today.
