Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Obol - Ulrich ND (1012-1034) from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Ulrich, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which symbolized the Christian faith that was prevalent during that time period. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not highly valued during its time and was primarily used for small transactions and everyday purchases. Today, however, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some specimens selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
