Interesting fact
The obverse (front) side of the coin features a mythical creature called a Pegasus, which is a winged horse. This symbol was significant to the people of Corinth, as it represented their city's connection to the sea and their reputation for being skilled navigators and traders. The Pegasus image on the coin was designed to signify the city's maritime power and its role as a major player in the ancient Greek trade network.
