Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Lordship of Beaugency, which was a small territory in medieval France. Despite its small size, the Lordship of Beaugency was able to issue its own coins, like the Obol, which was a testament to its economic and political significance during that time.
