| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a scene from the biblical narrative of David and Saul. In the foreground, the young shepherd David is rendered in bold, fully sculpted relief, playing the harp. The figure of King Saul, from whom the kingship had already been taken, is portrayed in the background as a receding outline, conveying his diminishing authority in contrast to David's rising prominence. The composition employs a deliberate artistic contrast between solid and outline forms to evoke the transition of divine favour. The design is executed in a refined sculptural style consistent with Israeli commemorative numismatic tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Bank of Israel's ongoing Biblical Art series, this issue belongs to a program that has run since the 1990s pairing fine gold miniatures with scenes drawn from the Hebrew Bible. The series was designed in part to attract international collector markets, and individual releases are produced in strictly limited quantities — typically a few thousand pieces per subject.
KM#517 corresponds to the scene from 1 Samuel 16, in which David is brought before Saul to play the kinnor and relieve the king's torment. The choice of subject is notable: it precedes the Goliath episode chronologically, depicting David as musician rather than warrior.
