| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stylized walking lion in relief, inspired by an ancient Hebrew seal, facing left with tail curled upward. The Menorah (seven-branched candelabrum), the official emblem of the State of Israel, appears in the upper right field. The trilingual legend 'ISRAEL' in Latin script arcs along the upper left rim, with the Arabic inscription 'إسرائيل' to the left and the Hebrew 'ישראל' rendered in the lower field below the lion. The overall design draws on ancient Israelite iconography rendered in a modern, incuse-relief style. |
