Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Louis I (1346-1357), is interesting because it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, yet it had a relatively low weight of 0.32 grams. This suggests that the coin was intended for everyday transactions and was accessible to a wide range of people, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy elite.
