Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Thebes (Boeotia) was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in ancient Greece, particularly in the city of Thebes. The coin features an image of a mythical creature, the Griffin, on one side and the helmeted head of the goddess Athena on the other. The Griffin was a symbol of protection and strength, while Athena was revered as the goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts. The combination of these two symbols on the coin reflects the cultural and artistic achievements of Thebes during this time period.
