Interesting fact

The Obol coin from Hungary, issued during the reign of Béla III (1172-1196), was made of silver and weighed only 0.11 grams, making it one of the smallest silver coins in circulation during that time. Despite its small size, it was still considered a valuable form of currency and was widely used in trade and commerce.
