| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold numeral '1' dominating the right-center of the field, with a stylized radiating sun in the upper left, its rays extending across the coin in a dynamic design evoking solar energy. The State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears in the upper right, above the country name in Hebrew (ישראל) and Arabic (إسرائيل) and Latin (ISRAEL) arranged along the right rim. The denomination inscription שקל חדש / NEW SHEKEL is positioned to the left of the numeral in Hebrew and Latin. A circular legend along the lower and left rim reads INDEPENDENCE DAY 2015 in Latin and יום העצמאות התשע״ה in Hebrew, separated by a small Star of David. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large photovoltaic solar panel rendered in precise detail, occupying the lower left portion of the field and depicted at a slight perspective angle, with its grid of individual cells clearly delineated. A radiant sun with incised rays fills the upper right of the field, its beams extending toward and behind the solar panel to illustrate the harnessing of solar energy. The trilingual legend אנרגייה סולרית בישראל / SOLAR ENERGY IN ISRAEL / طاقة شمسية في إسرائيل curves along the upper and lower rim in Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic respectively. The overall design reflects Israel's pioneering role in solar energy technology, rendered in a clean, modern artistic style with strong contrast between the textured panel and the polished field. |
