NOTE: Uncatalogued obulus of ÉH#161A, catalogue number is only for orientation!Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, issued during the reign of Andrew II (1205-1235), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.27 grams, it was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in transactions. This coin is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and economic systems of medieval Hungary.
