Comment
Obulus version of ÉH#315.Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Andrew III (1290-1301), is interesting because it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, yet it weighed only 0.21 grams, making it one of the smallest silver coins in circulation at the time.
