Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Matthias Corvinus in 1463, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.26 grams, it was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in transactions. This coin is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and the value placed on precious metals during the Renaissance period.
