| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in fine high relief. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet with a prominent, elaborately crested plume whose flowing locks cascade behind the neck. The facial features are finely modelled in the Hellenistic tradition, with a strong profile, cheek guard raised, and the nape adorned with loose wavy tresses. The field is plain, with no legend, consistent with the civic coinage of Side. |

| Reverse description | Nike advancing to the left in flight, her wings spread and drapery billowing, holding a wreath extended in her right hand. To the left of the figure, a pomegranate — the civic emblem of Side — appears above the Greek name of the presiding magistrate. The composition is characteristic of the Hellenistic Sidetan series, combining the city's badge with a dynamic winged Victory type. |
