| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate artistic composition depicting the biblical episode of the Twelve Spies (Numbers 13:23), in which scouts carry a monumental cluster of grapes suspended from a pole borne between two figures, along with pomegranates and figs — emblematic of the Seven Species of the Land of Israel. To the upper right border, an olive branch symbolises an additional species of the seven, while a large pomegranate dominates the lower right of the field. To the left, a jug is depicted with milk flowing from it, evoking the biblical description of the land as 'a land flowing with milk and honey,' referenced twenty-one times in scripture. The design is executed in a richly detailed illustrative style, integrating figural, floral, and symbolic elements in a unified composition. |
