Interesting fact
The Triobol coin from Lokroi Opuntii (Lokris) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city-state of Lokris, during the 4th century BC. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a mythical creature called a "Lokrian Hare" - a hare with the body of a deer and the head of a hare. This design was a symbol of the city-state and was used on many of its coins.
