Drachm

正面描述	Sea turtle depicted in full dorsal view, centrally placed within a slightly raised border, with a smooth, unscored carapace rendered in high relief. The head projects forward at the top, and the four flippers extend symmetrically to either side, rendered with naturalistic yet archaic stylization. No inscriptions or legends appear in the field, consistent with early Aeginetan coinage practice.

附加信息	Aegina's drachms were among the first struck silver coins to circulate across the Aegean basin, predating Athenian owls and serving as the dominant trade currency throughout the eastern Mediterranean during the sixth century. The island's commercial reach — built on maritime trade rather than military power — gave these coins a penetration into foreign markets that few poleis could match. Herodotus records Aeginetan weights being used as a reference standard in transactions far beyond Greek territory. The "Aeginetan standard" of roughly six grams per drachm became a competing benchmark against the Euboic-Attic standard for generations.
