| Obverse description | A pomegranate fruit depicted hanging downward, rendered in high relief at the center of the field, enclosed within a circular wreath composed of pomegranate leaves. The fruit is shown with its characteristic calyx at the top, and the naturalistic rendering of the berry is characteristic of early Pamphylian coinage. The wreath border frames the central device in a manner consistent with archaic Greek die-cutting conventions. |

| Reverse description | Two dolphins arranged one above the other in opposing directions within an incuse square: the upper dolphin swimming to left and the lower dolphin swimming to right, creating a heraldic counterposed composition. Below the lower dolphin, a pomegranate branch serves as a subsidiary device and civic badge of Side. The incuse treatment of the reverse is characteristic of early fifth-century Pamphylian silver coinage, with the dolphins rendered in a stylized archaic manner. |
