Interesting fact

The Alyzia Stater was minted during a time of great cultural and political change in ancient Greece. It was produced during the reign of King Pyrrhus of Epirus, who was known for his military campaigns against Rome and his efforts to unify the Greek city-states. The coin's design features the image of a mythical creature called a "chimera," which was a symbol of the kingdom's power and strength. Despite its age, the Alyzia Stater remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
