Interesting fact
The Poseidonia Stater, which is believed to have been minted in the 6th century BC, features a unique design on its obverse side. It depicts a horseman riding a horse in a galloping pose, with his arms outstretched and holding a spear. This design is quite rare in ancient Greek coinage and suggests that the coin may have been used for ceremonial purposes, such as in religious processions or as a prize for athletic competitions.
