Interesting fact
The Triobol coin from Madytos (Thrace) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the 4th century BC. Its name "Triobol" comes from the Greek word "triobolos," meaning "three-piece," as it was divided into three equal parts, each with a different value. This coin was made of silver and weighed 2.20 grams, making it a valuable and versatile form of currency at the time.
