Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obole coin is that it was minted during the reign of Adalgodus II, who was the Bishop of Geneva from 1031 to 1034. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during this time period, as most coins from this era were made of copper or other base metals. The Obole coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
