Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Obole - Philippe Ier (Paris ; 2e type) ND (1060-1108) from France made of Silver weighing 0.45 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip I of France, who ruled from 1060 to 1108. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency and promote trade throughout the kingdom. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which was a common feature of coins during this period. Despite its small size, this coin is a significant piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
