| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, with flowing hair and beard rendered in fine Hellenistic style, set within a beaded border. The portrait exhibits the characteristic mature, idealized physiognomy of Zeus as depicted on Phoenician civic bronzes, with prominent facial features and a wreath of laurel leaves visible atop the head. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional legends or symbols flanking the effigy. |

| Reverse description | Double cornucopia (dikeras) depicted upright at center, the two horns intertwined at the base and overflowing with grape bunches visible on either side, symbolizing abundance and fertility. The composition is flanked by inscriptions in Greek and Phoenician script: the city ethnic ΜΑΡΑ appears to the left along with a Phoenician letter 𐤁, while the dating formula ΒΝΤ, denoting Seleucid year 352, appears to the right. The design is executed in low relief consistent with the Hellenistic civic coinage tradition of Phoenicia, and the field is enclosed within a beaded border. |
