Interesting fact
The Kroton Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Kroton, which is now known as Crotone, in southern Italy. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and a dolphin on the other, which symbolizes the city's strong maritime tradition and its connection to the sea.
