Interesting fact
The Triobol coin was used in ancient Greece during the Hellenistic period, specifically in the city of Argos, and it was worth one-third of an Obol, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The coin features an image of Epikrates, a prominent leader of Argos, on one side, and a depiction of a dolphin on the other. The use of a dolphin on the coin was a symbol of the city's connection to the sea and its maritime trade.
