| Beschrijving voorzijde | Land tortoise depicted in profile view, seen from above, with a domed, segmented carapace rendered in high relief. The shell displays a distinctive pattern of scutes arranged symmetrically across the dorsal surface, with a clearly articulated central ridge. The head and forelimbs are visible at the lower edge of the carapace. The design is set within a plain circular field on an irregularly shaped flan typical of archaic Aeginetan coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aegina's coinage was among the earliest struck in the Greek world, and the island's distinctive weight standard — the Aiginetic — once dominated trade across the Aegean and into the Levant before Athens systematically dismantled Aeginetan commercial power throughout the fifth century. By 370 BC, Aegina had been depopulated by Sparta's expulsion of its Athenian colonists and was only beginning to recover its civic identity. Coins of this period reflect a mint operating under reduced capacity, which accounts for the relative scarcity of late Aiginetic fractions compared to the archaic series.
