Interesting fact
The Akarnanian Confederacy, which issued this coin, was a short-lived confederation of cities in ancient Greece that was formed in 250 BC. It was created to counterbalance the power of the neighboring Aetolian League, but it only lasted for a few decades before being absorbed into the Roman Empire. Despite its short existence, the Akarnanian Confederacy left a lasting legacy in the form of coins like the Stater (Thyrreion or Leukas) that , which are still studied and admired by numismatists today.
