Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obol coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of an unknown ruler between 980 and 999, a period of significant social and political upheaval, and its use reflects the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region during this time. Despite being made of silver, the Obol coin was relatively small in size, weighing only 0.53 grams, making it a accessible form of currency for everyday transactions.
