Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Thebes (Boeotia) was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in ancient Greece, known as the Golden Age of Athens. Despite being minted in Thebes, the coin features an image of the Athenian goddess Athena on one side, reflecting the cultural influence of Athens during this period.
