Interesting fact
The Obol coin from the Kingdom of Pamplona and Aragon, made of Billon and weighing 0.43g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Alfonso I (also known as Alfonso the Battler) who was a key figure in the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions and could have been carried by people from all walks of life, from peasants to nobles, during that time period.
