Interesting fact

The Kroton Stater was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Kroton, which is now known as Crotone, located in the Calabria region of Italy. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and a wheel on the other, which symbolizes the city's connection to the sea and its maritime trade. The coin was minted during the 6th century BC and was used for trade and commerce throughout the ancient Greek world. Today, the Kroton Stater is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
