| 表面の説明 | Land tortoise viewed from above, depicted in high relief with a finely segmented, domed shell rendered in a naturalistic style characteristic of the later Aeginetan series. The carapace displays clearly articulated scutes arranged in rows, with the marginal plates forming a distinctive border. The letter Alpha (A) appears to the left of the tortoise and Iota (I) to the right in the field, serving as magistrate or control marks. |

| 裏面の説明 | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four triangular sections by diagonal grooves meeting at the center, a hallmark of archaic and classical Aeginetan coinage. The upper-left compartment bears the Greek letter Nu (N), the upper-right compartment the letter Iota (I), and the lower-left compartment contains a small dolphin, all serving as control symbols. The incuse pattern retains the deeply punched, skyphos-shaped form associated with the Aeginetan mint's later issues. |

Aegina's coinage holds a particular claim in Greek monetary history — the Aeginetan standard was the dominant weight system across much of the Peloponnese and central Greece before the Attic standard gradually displaced it. By the mid-fourth century, when these drachms were being struck, Aegina had already been forcibly depopulated by Athens in 431 BC and resettled with Athenian cleruchs; the island's coinage resumed only after Sparta restored the original inhabitants following Athens' defeat in 404 BC.
The issues catalogued under HGC 6#445 belong to the late phase of Aeginetan silver production, ending abruptly with Macedonian hegemony after Chaeronea in 338 BC.
