Interesting fact
The Leukas Stater was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and was considered a standard unit of exchange. It was made of silver and weighed around 8.29 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of a nymph on one side and a lion on the other, symbolizing the connection between nature and power. Despite being over 2,000 years old, some of these coins have survived the test of time and are now highly prized by collectors and historians.
