Reverse description The reverse presents a thematic composition commemorating the ancient city of Jericho. At left, the excavated mud-brick ruins of Tell es-Sultan rise in a stepped architectural rendering, accompanied by a decorative circular rosette motif evoking the Neolithic period. At center-right, a stylized palm tree — emblematic of Jericho's epithet 'City of Palm Trees' — stands beside a low mound of ancient stonework. The State of Israel emblem (menorah) appears at upper center above an inscription in ancient script. The bilingual legend 'יריחו / JERICHO' is inscribed along the upper edge of the coin.
