| Obverse description | Central device features a stylized lily (shoshana) rendered in high relief, its elongated stem and swept petals dominating the field. To the lower left, the Hebrew numeral aleph-shin-nun (denoting the value) is displayed in bold relief, while the State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches within a shield — appears in the upper right field. A small Star of David mint mark is positioned to the lower right of the central device. The piedfort format gives the design exceptional depth and sharpness. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the numeral '1' in large relief at the center of the field, beneath which the denomination is inscribed in three languages: Hebrew (שקל חדש), and Latin (NEW SHEQEL). A trilingual legend encircles the upper periphery reading in Hebrew (ישראל), Arabic (اسرائيل), and Latin (ISRAEL), separated by dots. The lower arc of the legend bears the Hebrew inscription מ' שנים לישראל ('40 Years to Israel') along with the Hebrew date התשמ"ח, commemorating the 40th anniversary of Israeli independence. |
