| Obverse description | The obverse features the large numeral '1' in the center of the field, accompanied to its left by a finely detailed sprig of wheat. Below the numeral, the denomination legend reads 'שקל חדש / NEW SHEKEL' in Hebrew and Latin script, followed by the trilingual country name 'ישראל ISRAEL إسرائيل' in Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic. The Hebrew year 'התש"ף' and the Gregorian year '2020' appear below, with a six-pointed Star of David at the foot of the central design. The State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches above the word 'ישראל' — is positioned at the top of the field, while the peripheral legend reads 'רות בשדה בועז / RUTH IN BOAZ'S FIELD / راعوث في حقل بوعز' in Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic, encircling the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely rendered biblical scene in low relief against a matte field: two robed figures face one another across a gently rolling hillside, exchanging stalks of wheat. The female figure on the left, representing Ruth, is veiled and draped in flowing robes, holding gathered wheat in both hands. The male figure on the right, representing Boaz, extends a bundle of wheat toward her in a gesture of generosity. In the lower portion of the field, a dense stand of wheat stalks is rendered in intricate detail, evoking the harvest setting described in the Book of Ruth. The design is executed in a stylized, sculptural manner characteristic of Israeli commemorative coinage. |
