Interesting fact
The 1/12 Stater coin from Phlious (Phliasia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 6th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed approximately 1.18 grams. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the economy of the time, as it was used to purchase everyday goods and services. The design of the coin featured an image of a grapevine on one side and a quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) on the other. This coin is considered a rare and valuable artifact today, and is highly sought after by collectors of ancient Greek coins.
