Comment
C.II.: 243Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin is that it was minted during the reign of Matthias Corvinus, also known as Matthias I, who was the King of Hungary from 1458 to 1490. He was a prominent figure in Hungarian history and is remembered for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts. The coin's design likely reflects the king's influence and may feature an image of him or a symbol associated with his rule.
