Interesting fact
The Stater coin was minted during the reign of Alexander III, also known as Alexander the Great, who was the king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia from 336 BC until his death in 323 BC. This coin was minted in the city of Amphipolis, which was an important city in Macedonia during that time. The fact that the coin is made of gold and weighs 8.64 grams suggests that it was a high-value coin and likely played an important role in the economy of the kingdom.
