Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, issued during the reign of Andrew II (1205-1235), is interesting because it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, yet it weighed only 0.38 grams, making it one of the smallest silver coins in circulation at the time. This highlights the importance of the coin's design and production, as it was able to maintain its value and utility despite its small size.
