Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Obol - Ferdinand II 1622-1634 from Hungary made of Silver (.500) weighing 0.29 g is that it was used as a means of payment during a time of great economic change in Hungary. The coin was introduced during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the King of Hungary and Bohemia, and it was used to facilitate trade and commerce during a period of rapid economic growth. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Obol coin played an important role in the economy of Hungary during this time and remains a valuable piece of history for collectors today.
