Interesting fact
The Dyrrachion Stater, minted in 350 BC, features a unique blend of Greek and Illyrian influences in its design. The obverse side bears the image of a mythical creature, possibly a griffin or a lion, while the reverse side features a geometric pattern that resembles the Illyrian sun symbol. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the rich cultural exchange that occurred in the region during that time period.
