Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a mythical creature called a Pegasus, which is a winged horse. This image was a symbol of the city of Corinth and represented the city's connection to the goddess Athena, who was often depicted with a Pegasus. The Pegasus on the coin is depicted in a galloping pose, giving the impression of movement and energy. This design choice was likely meant to convey the idea of Corinth's strength and prosperity.
