Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the ancient Greek world, and its design was influential in the development of other Greek coins. Its obverse features a mythical creature called a Pegasus, which was a winged horse, symbolizing the speed and efficiency of the coin's use in trade. The reverse features a human figure, possibly a representation of the goddess Aphrodite, who was revered in Corinth. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the city-state's cultural and economic significance during the ancient Greek period.
