Interesting fact
The Krat coin from Thebes (Boeotia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a mythical creature called the "Kratos," which was a symbol of strength and power in ancient Greek mythology. The Kratos was depicted as a creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle, and it was believed to have the power to control the elements and bring good fortune to those who possessed it. The image of the Kratos on the coin was meant to convey the idea that the coin itself was a symbol of strength and prosperity for the city of Thebes.
