| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in high relief with finely modelled facial features in the Hellenistic style. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, adorned with a prominent upswept crest and a decorative cheek guard. Flowing locks of hair curl naturalistically below the helmet rim and onto the neck. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, exhibiting accomplished die-cutting characteristic of the Side mint. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, depicted advancing to the left in three-quarter view, her large, finely feathered wings spread behind her. She extends her right arm forward to present a victor's wreath, while her draped garments flow dynamically around her striding figure. To the left of the figure, a pomegranate — the civic emblem of Side — appears above the Greek magistrate's inscription ΔΙΟ, identifying the issuing official. The composition is set within a plain circular field on the broad, slightly irregular flan typical of Pamphylian coinage of this period. |
