Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Pedro I of Aragon, who was also known as Pedro el Conquistador (Pedro the Conqueror). He was a prominent figure in the history of the Kingdom of Aragon and played a significant role in the expansion of the kingdom through his military campaigns. The Obol coin was likely used to finance some of these military campaigns and would have been a common form of currency among the people of the kingdom during that time.
