Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Obole ND (1135-1400) from Bishopric of Geneva made of Silver is that it was used as a form of currency during the Middle Ages in the region of Geneva, which was then a bishopric, and it was valued at one-third of a silver denier, a commonly used coin at the time.
