Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Perrhaiboi (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, the standard unit of currency at the time. Despite being made of silver, the Trihemiobol was not a high-denomination coin, but it was still widely used in everyday transactions.
