Greek Stater 400-350 BC

Oh, look at this! An Istros AR stater from like 400 BC — because who doesn’t want a shiny little disc that’s been kicking around since before your ancestors even had Wi-Fi? On the front, you’ve got two heads—one of them just chillin’ upside down like it gave up on life mid-mint. Super motivating, honestly.

Flip it over and boom! An eagle clutching a dolphin, because apparently, ancient coin designers were really into animal drama. Like, “Hey, let’s have a bird grab a fish and call it art!” Very subtle, guys.

It’s graded EF40 by ANACS, which basically means it’s in “still looks good enough to impress your coin nerd friends” condition. Better preserved than my last attempt at a diet, that’s for sure.

So if you want to own a coin that’s survived more drama than your entire group chat, this Istros stater is the perfectconversation starter. Just don’t expect it to pay your rent.
