On one side you have two lionesses with snakelike necks that form a circle, and this seems to represent the unification of the two lands of Egypt (upper and lower). On the other side, you have a very large man wielding a mace about to crush an enemy. He is wearing the white crown of Egypt. Above the victim you will see Horus clasping onto papyrus, which is the symbol for Lower Egypt (Nile delta, marsh lands, etc). Back to the other side, you will see that the same man is now wearing the red crown of lower egypt, thus showing the unification of the Egypt.
