Interesting fact
The Obol coin was minted during the reign of Ramon Berenguer II, who was the Count of Barcelona and ruled the County of Barcelona from 1076 to 1097. This coin was used as a means of payment during his reign and was made of silver, which was a valuable metal at the time. The fact that it weighs 0.3 grams suggests that it was a small coin, likely used for everyday transactions. It's interesting to think that this coin was used by people living in the County of Barcelona over 900 years ago!
