Interesting fact

The Stater - Krat coin from Thebes (Boeotia) was used as a form of currency during the 4th century BC, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called the "Krat," which was a hybrid of a lion and an eagle. This coin was significant because it was one of the first coins to feature a non-human image, and it represented the wealth and power of the city-state of Thebes during that time.
