Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Thebes (Boeotia) featuring Damo, who was a legendary queen of Thebes, is one of the earliest known coins to feature a female figure on one side and a male figure on the other. This unique design choice was likely intended to symbolize the balance and harmony between masculine and feminine powers in ancient Thebes.
