Interesting fact

The Obol coin from the Kingdom of Navarre (Spain) made of Billon and weighing 0.5g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Charles I (1516-1556) and features an intricate design, including a crowned shield with the royal arms of Navarre on one side and a cross on the other.
