| Obverse description | Pomegranate depicted in profile, occupying the central field within a plain border. The fruit is rendered in low relief with naturalistic detail, its characteristic rounded body and calyx clearly delineated. The pomegranate was the civic badge of Side and appears as the principal type on the city's earliest silver coinage. No legend or exergual inscription is present. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with early Classical hammered coinage of Pamphylia. |

| Reverse description | Head of Athena facing right in profile, helmeted with a crested Attic helmet adorned with a row of dots along the brow-band, set within a square incuse punch. The facial features are rendered in the severe style characteristic of early Classical Greek coinage, with a well-defined eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The neck is truncated at the base. The incuse square is set diagonally within the broad, flat flan, a technique typical of early Pamphylian silver issues. No legend is present. |
