| Obverse description | At center, the State Emblem of Israel (menorah flanked by olive branches) is displayed prominently in the field. The face value '1 שקל חדש / NEW SHEKEL' appears below the emblem, with the country name 'ISRAEL' rendered in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. The Hebrew year התשפ"ה and the Gregorian year 2024 are inscribed alongside the mint mark. A circular border legend in Hebrew, English, and Arabic reads 'Covenant of David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18,3),' and an artistic motif of arrows — referencing Jonathan's use of arrows in battle — is positioned to the left of center. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two Biblical figures in a scene of covenant: at right, David stands holding his harp, the emblematic instrument of his identity as musician and poet-king; at left, Jonathan, the valiant warrior, bears a quiver of arrows upon his back. The two figures clasp hands at center in a gesture symbolizing the solemn covenant of friendship and loyalty they swore to one another, as recounted in 1 Samuel 18:3. The composition is rendered in a refined relief style befitting a proof issue, with the figures occupying the full field of the reverse. |
