Below the frame, the denomination legend 'שקל חדש / new sheqel' appears in Hebrew and Latin, with a small Star of David mint mark beneath. A curved legend encircling the upper field reads 'ISRAEL' in Latin to the left, 'اسرائيل' in Arabic at centre-left, 'ישראל' in Hebrew at centre-right, and the date '1987' to the right, with the Hebrew year 'התשמ״ז' continuing along the right arc. |

The commemorative legend '20 YEARS UNITED JERUSALEM' is inscribed in Latin characters across the upper field, while the lower field bears the Hebrew equivalent '20 שנה לאיחוד ירושלים' in three lines. |
