ÉH#256CInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin is that it was used as a form of payment for the common people, while the nobility used a different coin called the "denarius." This shows that the coin was used to facilitate trade and commerce among the general population, and it gives us a glimpse into the economic structure of medieval Hungary.
