Interesting fact

The Obol - Otto ND (1305-1307) coin from Hungary made of Silver weighing 0.18 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Otto, who ruled Hungary in the early 14th century. Despite its small weight, it was still considered a valuable form of currency during that time.
