Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Stephen V (1270-1272), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.21 grams, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce. Additionally, the coin's design likely featured the image of the king, which symbolized the power and authority of the Hungarian monarchy during that period.
