A mountainous island just southeast of Athens, Aegina became an industrial powerhouse in ancient Greece. Because they were confined on an island, the people of Aegina came to rely on exporting goods to nearby regions, which brought great prosperity to their land. To help facilitate trade, the inhabitants of the island created what many historians believe to be the first silver coin. Produced from silver they both mined and received in trading, these coins featured a sea turtle design and spread quickly throughout the known world.
The obverse of 2022 Cook Islands Gold Tortoise Coins features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This acclaimed effigy was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, a British sculptor who also created the Princess Diana memorial statue at Kensington Palace. The portrait features the Queen facing right and wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. There are also inscriptions of the hallmarks across the edge.
On the reverse side of 2022 1/2 Gram Gold Tortoise Coins, there is a depiction of a sea turtle. In this design, we see the tortoise from above as it propels through the water. The design is a close replication of the original turtle designs found on ancient Greek coinage.
