Interesting fact

The Aegae (Aeolis) Stater coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in ancient Greece. The coin's design likely reflects the influence of the nearby city of Troy, which was known for its rich artistic traditions. In fact, some historians believe that the coin's obverse (front) design may have been inspired by the famous Trojan War, which took place around the same time.
