| Reverse description | Dionysos standing left in a relaxed contrapposto stance, his right hand grasping a bunch of grapes on a vine and his left hand holding a thyrsos. The ethnic inscription NAΓIΔIKON appears in the field, with the magistrate or control marks EY positioned at upper left and ΛA at lower left. The figure is rendered in the fluid, naturalistic style characteristic of Cilician civic coinage of the early fourth century BC. |

| Additional information |
Nagidos was a small Greek settlement on the Cilician coast, and its silver coinage — produced across a relatively narrow window in the early fourth century — represents one of the few documentary traces the city left behind. The mint was active during a period when Cilicia sat under loose Achaemenid suzerainty, and local dynasts and city-mints operated with considerable autonomy in producing their own coinage for regional trade.
The "var." citations against both SNG France and Lederer suggest this piece diverges in die detail from the recorded specimens — not unusual for a small mint producing limited runs with hand-cut dies.
