| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold, centrally positioned relief of the monumental seven-branched menorah installed in the courtyard of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, rendered in fine detail with its characteristic decorative shaft, spreading curved branches, and tiered base. The sculptural rendition faithfully reproduces the celebrated Benno Elkan bronze menorah, with relief carvings visible along the shaft and branches. The field is plain and unlettered, allowing the iconic menorah design to dominate the dodecagonal flan. |
