Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city-state of Pharsalos (Thessaly) during the 4th century BC. The coin's name "Trihemiobol" comes from the Greek words "tri" meaning three, "hēmi" meaning half, and "bolos" meaning throw, which refers to the coin's value being equal to three half-drachmas or three obols. This coin was made of silver and weighed approximately 1.31 grams. It's fascinating to think that over 2,000 years ago, people used coins like this in their everyday transactions, and now they are valuable collector's items that provide a glimpse into the past.
