Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Thebes (Boeotia) minted during the reign of Klees (379 BC - 368 BC) was considered a standard circulation coin in ancient Greece. It was made of silver and weighed 12.12 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin's design featured the image of a mythical creature called the "Keryneian stag" on one side, and the profile of the goddess Athena on the other. The coin's minting was overseen by the famous Theban statesman and military leader, Epaminondas, who played a crucial role in the expansion of Thebes during that period.
