| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian-style helmet pushed back on the head, with a prominent bowl and ribbed neck guard visible. The facial features are rendered in a compact archaic-transitional style characteristic of Pamphylian civic coinage of the fifth and early fourth centuries BC. The flan is irregular and the relief, though small in scale, is well-centered within the field. |

| Reverse description | Forepart or head of a roaring lion facing left, with open jaws and mane rendered in stylized radiating lines, a civic badge emblematic of Side in Pamphylia. The design is boldly conceived for the small flan, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The strike is slightly uneven, consistent with the hammered technique and irregular planchet preparation typical of this series. |
