Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was used as a standard unit of currency in ancient Greece, and its design was widely adopted 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. This coin was also used as a means of promoting Corinth's economic and political influence in the region.
