| Obverse description | The obverse presents a dramatic cross-sectional landscape illustrating the distinct geological strata of Israel's makhtesh craters, rendered in fine detail. An eagle soars in the upper field above the layered rock formations, its wings spread in full flight. The bilingual legend MAKHTESHIM / מכתשים is inscribed along the design, referencing the unique erosion craters found in the Negev Desert. |

The numeral and denomination text are artistically layered in a typographic arrangement echoing the geological strata depicted on the obverse. Surrounding inscriptions in Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin identify the issuing state, denomination, and commemorative occasion, including the Independence Day observance of 2022. |
