Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Charles Robert (1308-1322), was made of silver and weighed only 0.22 grams, making it one of the smallest silver coins in circulation during that time. Despite its small size, it was still considered a valuable currency and was widely used in trade and commerce.
