Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Bishopric of Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux was a powerful and influential institution during the Middle Ages, and the Obol coin was an important part of its economy. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Obol was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region, and it remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
