Interesting fact
The Ambracia Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Ambracia, which was located in the region of Epeiros. The coin features an image of a mythical creature called a Griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek mythology. The Griffin was often depicted as a creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, and it was believed to have the power to protect against evil and guard treasure. The inclusion of the Griffin on the Ambracia Stater suggests that the people of Ambracia valued these qualities and saw the coin as a symbol of their city's strength and prosperity.
