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. This period saw the rise of democracy, the development of philosophy, and the creation of some of the most iconic works of art and architecture in human history. It's fascinating to think that this coin, which was used in everyday transactions, was a small but tangible part of that remarkable era.
