Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Thyrrheion (Akarnania) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the region of Akarnania, and was minted during the 4th century BC. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features an image of a mythical creature called the "Triton" on one side, which is a half-human, half-fish creature that was believed to inhabit the sea. The Triton was considered a symbol of the sea-god Poseidon and was often depicted in ancient Greek art and literature. The inclusion of this image on the coin highlights the importance of the sea and maritime trade in the ancient Greek world.
