Interesting fact
The Anaktorion Stater was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the city-state of Akarnania, and it features an image of a mythical creature called a griffin. The griffin was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek mythology, and it's interesting to note that the coin's design has been well-preserved over time, allowing us to still admire its intricate details today.
