Interesting fact
The Triobol coin was used as a form of currency in the Aetolian League, a confederation of cities in ancient Greece, during the 3rd century BC. The coin's name "Triobol" comes from the Greek words "tri", meaning three, and "obol", meaning a small coin or weight. This name refers to the fact that the coin was worth three obols, which was a common denomination in ancient Greek currency.
