Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Hungary, minted during the reign of Vladislaus I in 1442, is interesting because it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage during that time. The fact that it weighs 0.69 grams suggests that it was a small-denomination coin, likely used for everyday transactions. Additionally, the design of the coin may feature an image of the king or other important figures from the time period, making it a unique piece of history.
