| Obverse description | Lion's head facing right in profile, jaws agape, rendered in high relief with finely engraved mane striations radiating from the crown and neck. The ferocious feline effigy, a civic emblem of Side in Pamphylia, displays prominent fangs within the open mouth and a boldly modeled eye. The design fills the broadly irregular flan in the vigorous archaic-to-classical Greek style characteristic of this mint. |

| Reverse description | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet with cheekpieces partially raised, depicted in low relief within a shallow incuse square. The goddess's facial features are rendered in the restrained classical style typical of fourth-century Pamphylian coinage, with the helmet bowl covering the crown and the neckguard visible below. The incuse square border frames the entire design, a hallmark of archaic hammered coinage technique. |
