Kellner, Manching pl. 29, 764.

Interesting fact

The Obol coin from the Boii tribe was used as a form of currency in ancient Europe, specifically in the region that is now modern-day Czech Republic. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used in everyday transactions over 2,000 years ago and has survived to this day as a piece of history.
