Comment
Dinero split in half to be used as oboloInteresting fact
The Obol coin is interesting because it was used in the County of Empuries, which was a small state located in what is now modern-day Catalonia, Spain. The County of Empuries was known for its rich agricultural land and its strategic location along the Mediterranean coast, making it an important center of trade and commerce. The use of the Obol coin in this region during the 13th century suggests that it was an important tool for facilitating economic transactions and exchange in the area.
