| Reverse description | Dionysos standing left in flowing drapery, his right hand grasping a thyrsos and his left hand raising a vine branch bearing a bunch of grapes. The inscription ΝΑΓΙΔΙΚΟΝ ΣΑΡ appears in the field, identifying the civic authority of Nagidos. To the left field, a partial legend or magistrate notation, tentatively read as ΚΑ, is visible. The composition reflects the standard Dionysiac iconographic programme adopted by Nagidos during the early fourth century BC. |

| Additional information |
Nagidos was a small Cilician coastal settlement whose independent coinage output was brief and poorly documented — the triple blank reference here (SNG France, Lederer, Levante, von Aulock all unlisted) suggests this is either an unpublished variety or a piece that has slipped between the cataloguing efforts of successive specialists. The city struck silver during a window when Cilicia sat under loose Achaemenid authority, and its autonomous issues were likely curtailed as Persian administrative control tightened through the mid-fourth century.
