Comment
Kellner, Manching pl. 29.Interesting fact
The Obol coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Boii, which is now modern-day Bulgaria. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.50 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Obol coin played an important role in the economy of the region and was widely used for trade and commerce.
