Interesting fact
The Obol coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon, minted during the reign of Alfonso X in 1281, features a unique design element - a small cross pattée on the obverse side, which is believed to have been added as a symbol of the Christian faith and to signify the coin's connection to the Catholic Church.
