| Reverse description | Dionysos standing left, his draped figure presented in the Classical style typical of Cilician civic coinage. In his raised right hand he holds a vine branch from which two clusters of grapes depend, while his left hand rests upon a tall thyrsos standing upright beside him. The ethnic legend NAΓI-ΔEΩN is disposed in the field to either side of the deity, identifying the issuing city of Nagidos. The Greek letter Π appears in the exergue, likely serving as a mint control mark or magistrate initial. |

| Additional information |
Nagidos was a small coastal city in Cilicia, closely tied to Phoenician trade networks and largely overshadowed by its more powerful neighbor Soloi. Its coinage — struck over a relatively brief window in the early fourth century — reflects a civic mint operating at the margins of regional power, producing issues that were functionally tied to local commerce rather than to any imperial or satrapal authority. The multiple "var." citations across the major reference works suggest this piece belongs to a die cluster that doesn't align cleanly with any single catalogued pairing, a common frustration with Nagidian material.
