Interesting fact
The Androkleidas Stater from Thebes (Boeotia) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a rose. This combination of symbols may have been used to represent the alliance between Thebes and Athens during the Corinthian War. Additionally, the coin's reverse side features the image of a shield with the inscription "ΑΝΔΡΟΚΛΕΙΔΑΣ," which is the name of the coin's issuer, Androkleidas. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from ancient Greece that has survived in good condition, providing valuable insight into the monetary systems and artistic styles of the time.
