| Obverse description | Pomegranate rendered in high relief at center, displayed full-face with characteristic lobed crown and calyx remnant at base, the fruit set upon a short stem issuing from a simple bifurcated branch; the whole surrounded by a beaded border within a broad plain field. The pomegranate, emblematic civic badge of Side, is depicted with notable sculptural volume characteristic of the late Archaic to early Classical Pamphylian coinage tradition. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, with a simple necklace visible at the throat; to the right, an upright olive branch. The entire design is contained within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Side coinage. The style reflects the transitional Archaic-Classical idiom, with carefully rendered facial features and helmet crest extending prominently above the head. |
