The "weight standard" in the above pictures is an iron griddle for cooking fried flat bread over coals (the back smooth side), the griddle was then inverted (split-ridged side up: shown) the flat bread was placed on the ridge and the meat/veggies was slid off the oboli onto to flat bread and folded over. Pictured above is the original fast food joint. Obols are used to pay your helots for a days work or three obols of meat for a prostitute; not unlike prior to the US / Panama invasion, when local prostitutes bartered for a bucket of KFC chicken. Also the long heavy handle on the griddle is to facilitate a counter balance and stable base needed to cook.
Thanks for your article, I've been researching Obol utensil money as a possible future "barter currency" in a economic crash situation. The obols also make a good small game hunting weapon; my "obols" are made from 1 mm round iron rebar about one cubic long (82 cm), cleaned, oiled, and sharpened. And six do make a drachum.
Thanks again
