Trihemiobol

Pelinna was a Thessalian city in the Histiaeotis region whose autonomous coinage is poorly documented relative to its larger neighbors. The trihemiobol denomination — one and a half obols — points to a monetized local economy sophisticated enough to require fractional silver well below the obol, suggesting active small-scale market exchange rather than purely inter-polis transactions. The BCD Thessaly II reference places this among the coins assembled by the Leu Numismatik collection, whose systematic cataloging of Thessalian issues in the early 2000s remains the foundational reference for the region.
