An ancient Greek coin worth two obols, a small silver monetary unit used in classical times.
From Greek 'di-' (two) + 'obolos' (obol, a small coin), attested in ancient texts and numismatic literature from the 5th century BCE onward.
If an obol was tiny pocket change in ancient Athens, a diobol was like finding two pennies together—but the fascinating part is that the Greek word 'obolos' might come from an old word for a spit or pointed object, suggesting coins were originally pieces of metal that had value by weight rather than as official currency.
