Interesting fact
The Aegina Stater is considered one of the earliest coins in the ancient Greek world, and it's believed to have been issued around 520 BC. It features an image of a sea turtle on one side and an inscription on the other, which is thought to be the name of the mint official who issued the coin. The use of a sea turtle as a design element was likely chosen because Aegina was an island nation that relied heavily on maritime trade and commerce.
