Interesting fact

The 1 Obol, 1 Pfennig coin from the County of Görz (Austrian States) made of Billon and weighing 0.35g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maximilian I (Lienz) in 1504-1505, which was a time of significant political and economic change in the region. The coin's design and materials reflect the influences of the Renaissance and the rise of the Habsburg Empire, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians interested in the history of European currency.
