Interesting fact
The Dyrrachion Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient region of Illyria, which is now modern-day Albania. The coin features an image of a mythical creature called the "Pegasus," which is a winged horse. This symbol was significant to the ancient Illyrians, as it represented strength, speed, and wisdom. The Pegasus image on the coin was meant to signify the power and prosperity of the region.
