| Reverse description | Nike advancing left in flowing drapery, her wings spread, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a palm branch over her left shoulder. A pomegranate — the civic emblem of Side — is positioned in the outer left field. A Greek legend appears above and to the right of the figure, identifying the issuing city. The composition is characteristic of Sidetan civic bronzes of the Hellenistic period. |

| Additional information |
Side was among the most commercially active ports on the Pamphylian coast, and its bronze coinage of this period circulated heavily through local trade networks rather than regional tribute systems. The city maintained considerable autonomy under Seleucid and later Roman influence, striking its own civic bronzes with remarkable consistency across the second and first centuries BC. The references clustering around SNG France 740 and Copenhagen 408 suggest this falls within the well-documented middle range of the series — not the scarcer early issues.
