Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Lete (Macedon) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and was considered a standard unit of exchange. It was made of silver and weighed 9.60 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of a lion on one side and an inscription on the other, which translates to "Lete, son of Pyrrhos." The coin's design and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its authenticity and value, making it a reliable and widely accepted form of currency in ancient Greece.
