Interesting fact
The Stater - Klion coin from Thebes (Boeotia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. It was made of silver and weighed 12.23 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin features an image of a mythical creature called a Griffin on one side and the Greek god Apollo on the other. The Griffin was a symbol of protection and strength, while Apollo was the god of the sun, music, poetry, and prophecy. The combination of these two symbols on the coin reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the people of Thebes during that time period.
