Interesting fact
The Obol coin from the Kingdom of Valencia, made of Billon and weighing 0.37g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of James I of Aragon, who ruled from 1213 to 1276. This coin was used extensively in trade and commerce during that time and is a valuable piece of history for numismatists and collectors.
