Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was used as a standard unit of currency in ancient Greece, and its design was adopted by many other city-states. It features a mythical creature called a Pegasus, which is a winged horse, on one side, and an image of the goddess Athena on the other. This coin was also used as a symbol of Corinth's wealth and power during that time.
