Interesting fact

The Obol coin from the Kingdom of Navarre, issued during the reign of Theobald II (1253-1270), features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This design element was a distinctive feature of the coinage of the Kingdom of Navarre during this period and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
