Comment

The following link shows the type of a common obole, in billon. These two coins are linked by the fact that they are of the same type, but struck in gold on one side and in billon on the other.
We can therefore imagine that the same corners were used to strike both coins, gold and billon.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le lien suivant donne le type d'une obole commune, en billon. Ces deux pièces sont reliés par le fait qu'il s'agit du même type, mais frappé d'un côté avec de l'or, de l'autre en billon.
On peut donc imaginer que les mêmes coins servaient à la frappe des deux pièces, or et billon.

Interesting fact

The Obol Gold Strike coin featuring Matthias Corvinus, minted in Hungary between 1471 and 1488, is an extremely rare and valuable collector's item. It's interesting to note that only a limited number of these coins were produced during Corvinus' reign, making them highly sought after by collectors and historians. Additionally, the coin's gold content and unique design make it a standout piece among other coins from the same era.
