Interesting fact

The Boeotian League Stater was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece, specifically in the region of Boeotia, and was minted during the 4th century BC. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features an image of a boar on one side, which was the symbol of the Boeotian League. The boar was chosen as the symbol of the league because it was believed to represent strength, courage, and fertility, which were all qualities that were highly valued by the people of Boeotia.
