Interesting fact

The Corinthian Stater was used as a standard unit of currency in ancient Greece, and its design was adopted by many other city-states. It features a mythical creature called a Pegasus on one side and the profile of a helmeted woman on the other. The Pegasus symbolized the city's connection to the goddess Athena, who was believed to have created the animal. The helmeted woman was likely a representation of the goddess Aphrodite, who was revered in Corinth. The coin's design remained relatively unchanged for over a century, indicating its widespread acceptance and use throughout the ancient Greek world.
