Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Larissa (Thessaly) 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 the coin's value being equal to half of a drachma, which was the standard unit of currency in ancient Greece.
