Interesting fact
The Stater coin from the 107th Olympiad (352 BC) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during a time when the Olympic Games were still held in Olympia, Elis. 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 made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted form of currency at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was used in the context of the Olympic Games adds to its historical significance and makes it a unique piece of numismatic history.
