Interesting fact
The Corinthian Stater was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a human being. The obverse side of the coin features a bearded helmeted head of the Greek god Poseidon, while the reverse side features a horse and rider. This coin was issued during the time of the ancient Greek city-state of Corinth, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the ancient world. The use of a human figure on a coin was a significant innovation at the time and marked a departure from the earlier use of abstract symbols and animal motifs on coins.
