Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a human being. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of a bearded man, believed to be a representation of the Greek god Poseidon, who was revered as the protector of the city of Corinth. This makes the Corinthian Stater a significant piece in the history of coinage, as it marks one of the earliest examples of a human figure being featured on a coin.
