Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Tegea (Arkadia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. Its name "Trihemiobol" comes from the Greek words "tri", meaning three, and "hēmi-", meaning half, referring to its value being equal to three obols, which was a fractional unit of the drachma, the standard unit of currency in ancient Greece.
