Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was widely used in ancient Greece and was considered a standard unit of currency. It was used to pay soldiers, settle debts, and facilitate trade. Its design featured a pegasus, a mythical winged horse, on one side and a helmeted warrior on the other. The coin's use of a standardized design and weight helped to establish trust and consistency in trade, making it a valuable tool for merchants and traders.
