Interesting fact
The Anaktorion Stater was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city-state of Akarnania, and it's interesting to note that the coin's design has been found to be quite unique compared to other coins from the same time period. The coin features an image of a mythical creature called a gorgoneion, which is a representation of Medusa, on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This combination of symbols was likely chosen to represent the city's power and strength.
