Interesting fact
The Triobol coin from Sikyon was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and was valued at one-third of an Obol, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The coin's design featured a mythological creature called a Griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek culture. The Griffin was depicted on the obverse side of the coin, while the reverse side featured a quadripartite incuse, which was a pattern of four squares arranged in a square. The coin's silver content and unique design made it a valuable and highly sought-after form of currency in its time.
