Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Laos (Lucania) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city-state of Lucania, which was located in present-day Basilicata, Italy. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and an inscription on the other side that reads "ΛΟΥΚΑΝΙΩΝ," which means "of the Lucanians." The use of the lion's head on the coin may have been a symbol of the city's strength and power.
