| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Phoenician civic issues. The emperor's portrait displays characteristic curled hair beneath the laurel wreath, with visible drapery over the left shoulder. The Greek legend ΑΥΤΟ ΤΡΑ ΑΔΡΙΑΝω ΚΑΙϹ curves around the bust, reading 'to Emperor Trajan Hadrian Caesar.' The overall style reflects the early issues of Hadrian's reign, consistent with a date of 117–118 CE. |

| Reverse description | Laureate head of a deity — most likely Zeus or Poseidon — facing right, with flowing hair and beard rendered in bold relief characteristic of Phoenician provincial coinage. A palm branch or similar vegetal element appears behind the head in the field. The encircling Greek legend ΔωΡ ΙΕΡ ΑϹΥΛ ΑΥΤ ΝΑΥΑΡ identifies the city of Dora with its civic titles: sacred, inviolable, autonomous, and nauarchis (a title referencing maritime prestige). The reverse type reflects Dora's pride in its coastal status and civic privileges granted under Roman rule. |
