Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was widely used in trade and commerce across the ancient Greek world, and its design was influential in the development of other Greek coins. Its obverse features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse shows a Pegasus, a mythical winged horse, and the Corinthian letter "Korinth" (Κόρινθ). The coin's design and symbolism reflect Corinth's rich cultural heritage and its strategic location as a major trade hub.
