| Obverse description | Land tortoise (Testudo graeca) depicted in high relief from above, shown in full dorsal view with a finely articulated segmented shell composed of clearly defined scutes arranged in a naturalistic pattern. The head of the tortoise is visible at the top of the field, with the four legs extended at the corners. The letter alpha (A) appears to the left of the tortoise in the field, and the letter iota (I) to the right, forming the civic abbreviation of Aegina. A finely serrated border frames the design. |
