Obolo scales

The County of Girona operated as a nominally Frankish tributary March through much of this period, but by the late tenth century the counts were issuing coinage on their own authority with little reference to Carolingian precedent. The "scales" type — the obol being the half-denarius — served petty commercial exchange in a region where Pyrenean trade routes connected Iberian markets to southern Francia. Cru#71 is among the lightest silver issues attributed to the county.
