Hemiobol

Kasolaba was a dynastic city in Caria, operating under the broader Persian satrapal framework that allowed regional rulers to strike their own silver — a privilege that produced an extraordinary variety of small-denomination coinage across western Anatolia in the fourth century. The hemiobol itself, at roughly half an obol, was the lowest practical unit of silver exchange, used for transactions too small for anything heavier.

Almost nothing is documented about Kasolaba's mint administration specifically, and the city's political history remains poorly reconstructed. The type is known primarily from a handful of specimens.
