Interesting fact
The Sikyon Stater was minted during the reign of Philip II of Macedon, who is best known for being the father of Alexander the Great. The coin features an image of a seated Athena on one side and a horse on the other, symbolizing the city's patron deity and its reputation for horse breeding and horsemanship.
