Interesting fact
The Haliartos Stater is considered one of the earliest examples of a standardized coin, meaning that it was designed to be used as a widely accepted medium of exchange across different regions and cities in ancient Greece. Its standardized weight and design made it a reliable and trustworthy form of currency, which helped to facilitate trade and commerce during that time.
