Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was used as a standard unit of currency in ancient Greece, and its design was widely imitated by other city-states. It features a symbol of Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, on one side and an image of the goddess Athena on the other. The coin's design was meant to represent the wealth and power of Corinth, which was a major commercial center in the ancient Greek world.
