Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obole coin from County of Toulouse is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, the coin bears the image of King Henry I, while on the other side, it features a depiction of the Roman goddess Victory. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the County of Toulouse during the 11th century.
