Celebrate one of the most iconic coin designs of the ancient world with this authentic Greek silver stater, hand-struck in Corinth around 240 B.C.E. For centuries, Corinth stood as one of the most prosperous and influential city-states of ancient Greece, renowned for its wealth, maritime trade, and artistic achievements.
