Comment
Weights between 0.8 and 1.05 grams have been recorded for this type depending on wear; the theoretical weight is more around 1 gram.Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Lete (Macedon) is interesting because it features a unique design, with the head of a youthful Dionysus on one side and a grapevine on the other. This coin was used in everyday transactions and represents an early use of silver in coinage.
