| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized ancient lyre (kinor), rendered in a clean, linear design evoking archaeological depictions of the instrument as found on Second Temple-period artifacts. The body of the lyre is decorated with a rosette motif and a border of small pellets. The State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by two olive branches — appears to the right of the lyre in the upper field. The overall composition is uncluttered, with no peripheral legend on this face. |
