| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, showing David Ben-Gurion and other signatories assembled at the ceremonial table during the proclamation ceremony of May 1948. A portrait of Theodor Herzl is visible on the wall in the background, flanked by two flags bearing the Star of David. The large numeral '40' is incorporated into the design as a compositional element framing the scene. Trilingual legends encircle the field: the Hebrew '40 שנה למדינת ישראל', the Arabic '٤٠ عاماً لإسرائيل', and the English 'ISRAEL'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY', referencing the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the state. |
