Interesting fact
The Aegina Stater is considered one of the earliest coins in the ancient Greek world, and it's believed to be the first coin to feature an image of a living creature - a sea turtle - on its reverse side. This design choice was likely made to represent the island's strong maritime economy and its reputation for producing high-quality purple dye from sea snails.
