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, located in the Calabria region of Italy. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and a wheel on the other, which symbolizes the city's connection to the sea and its maritime trade. The coin was minted during the 4th century BC and is considered a rare and valuable artifact among collectors today.
