Interesting fact

The Corinthian Stater was widely used in ancient Greece and was considered a standard unit of exchange. It was used to pay soldiers, settle debts, and facilitate trade. Its design featured the profile of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and a Pegasus on the other, symbolizing the city of Corinth's strong maritime and cultural heritage.
