Interesting fact
The Dio Stater from Thebes (Boeotia) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a flying griffin, which was a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbolized the protection and watchfulness of the city's patron deity, Zeus.
