Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Pharsalos (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 "hēmi-", meaning half, referring to its value being equal to three obols, which was a fraction of a drachma, the standard unit of currency in ancient Greece.
