Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin from the Kingdom of Aragon is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Peter II, who was known for his military campaigns and territorial expansion. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as a cross and a legend that reads "Aragon et Siciliae Rex" (King of Aragon and Sicily). Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Obol was an important part of the economy and trade during this time period.
