| Reverse description | The large numeral '1' dominates the upper field in bold relief, serving as the principal denomination indicator. Below it, in the lower left field, the Hebrew inscription 'לירה ישראלית' (Israeli Pound) is rendered in two lines, with the Hebrew year date appearing beneath in a third line. The overall design is plain and unadorned, with the denomination and date legend occupying the lower half of the flat field against a smooth background. |

| Additional information |
The Israeli lira was already under quiet inflationary pressure during this issue's production run, a slow erosion that would accelerate through the 1970s and ultimately end in the currency's replacement by the shekel in 1980. This denomination bore the brunt of everyday commerce — bus fares, market transactions, municipal fees — and circulated hard enough that uncirculated survivors are genuinely scarce relative to lower-denomination contemporaries.
