Interesting fact
The Aetolian League Stater coin was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 3rd century BC. It features an image of a boar on the obverse side, which was a symbol of strength and bravery in ancient Greek culture. The boar was also associated with the goddess Artemis, who was revered as a protector of the wild and the hunt. The coin's design was likely meant to convey the Aetolian League's values of strength, courage, and devotion to the gods.
