Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic and political change in the Hungarian States. The Province of Slavonia, where the coin was minted, was an important region for trade and commerce, and the Obol coin was likely used to facilitate transactions and exchange goods and services. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin played a significant role in the economy of the time.
