| Reverse description | An aerial-perspective view of the Herodion fortress-palace dominates the field, depicting the distinctive cone-shaped hill rising above the Judean Desert landscape, with surrounding terrain and a stylized sun rendered above the horizon. The site name 'HERODION' appears in Latin script and 'הרודיון' in Hebrew script, positioned within the design to frame the central motif. The composition captures the archaeological grandeur of the Herodian monument in a detailed medallic style. |
