It's debatable interpretation, but here is a brief answer.
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.
Narmer's Palette which is believed to depict the unification of upper or lower Egypt under king narmer.

The palette--so-called the first political document in history--shows Narmer subduing an enemy ruler.

King Menes, also known as Narmer, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who is credited with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE.

Narmer's Palette was not meant for actual use. Rather it is a votive, or ritual object, a gift to a god or goddess that was placed in a temple to ensure that the king or perhaps some temple official would have access to the palette throughout eternity. (page 71 of HUM 111 Strayer University)

Is is generally thought that king Narmer in c.3100 BC unified upper and lower Egypt. The Narmer palette shows Narmer unifying Egypt, and wearing the different crowns of upper and lower Egypt. However it is uncertain whether or not he began the process of unification or whether he just completed it.
