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 spirits and treasure. The inclusion of the Griffin on the Ambracia Stater coin may have been intended to convey the idea of protection and security for the currency's users.
