Interesting fact
The Obol anonymous ND (1501-1526) coin from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.18 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Louis II of Hungary, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Hungarian state. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not minted with a specific denomination, and its value was determined by its weight and purity. This fact highlights the importance of the coin's material and weight in determining its value, rather than its face value or denomination.
