Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin is that it was minted during the reign of Louis IV the Child, who was only 10 years old when he ascended to the throne. Despite his young age, Louis IV was able to issue a number of coins during his reign, including the Obol, which was used as a means of payment and exchange throughout the Carolingian States.
