Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin was used in ancient Corinth during a time of great economic and cultural prosperity, and its design reflects the city's rich history and cultural influences. The obverse side of the coin features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side shows a Pegasus, a mythical winged horse that was a symbol of Corinth's prosperity and power. The coin's design was likely meant to symbolize the city's strong economic and cultural ties to the rest of the Greek world.
