Interesting fact
The Obol coin from County of Anjou (French States) made of Billon weighing 0.48 g during Charles III ND (1290-1325) circulation is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when France was still a feudal society, and the Count of Anjou was one of the most powerful nobles in the country. This coin represents a small part of the economic and social changes that were taking place in France during this time period.
