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 8.5 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "Leukas" in ancient Greek. The coin was used for trade and commerce, and its value was equivalent to a certain amount of grain or other goods. It's fascinating to think about how this coin was used in everyday transactions over 2,000 years ago!
