| Obverse description | Land tortoise (Testudo graeca) depicted in high relief, viewed from above, occupying nearly the entire field. The carapace is rendered with exceptional detail, exhibiting a precisely articulated segmented shell with a central row of hexagonal scutes flanked by symmetrical lateral plates and a defined marginal rim. The head, four splayed legs, and short tail are visible extending beyond the shell, all rendered in fine archaic style characteristic of Aeginetan coinage of the Classical period. |
