Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a mythological creature, specifically a Pegasus, on its obverse (front side). The Pegasus was a symbol of the city of Corinth and represented the city's connection to the goddess Athena, who was often depicted with a Pegasus. This coin's design was influential in the development of coinage in the ancient Greek world and paved the way for the use of mythological imagery on coins.
