Interesting fact

The Obol coin from Andecavi (Gallia Armorica) made of Billon weighing 0.48 g is interesting because it is one of the smallest coins ever minted, with a diameter of only about 1 cm. Despite its small size, it was an important currency during its time and was used for everyday transactions.
