| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the restored monumental gateway of the Nabataean temple at Avdat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rendered in fine detail with dedicatory inscriptions engraved on the lintel spanning the top of the gateway arch. The trilingual legend 'AVDAT - INCENSE ROUTE / עבדת - דרך הבשמים / النقب - طريق البخور' in Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic scripts surrounds the central architectural motif. The UNESCO emblem and the World Heritage Site emblem are incorporated into the design, affirming the site's international cultural significance. The composition reflects the historical importance of Avdat as a major station along the Nabataean spice and incense trade route through the Negev Desert. |
