Interesting fact
The Stater coin from the 105th Olympiad (360 BC) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city of Olympia. It was made of silver and weighed 11.90 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of Zeus on one side and a depiction of the Olympic Games on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was used during a time when the Olympic Games were still held in Olympia, and it's a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Games.
