| Obverse description | The obverse bears the State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by two olive branches — positioned to the right of the central denomination. The face value '1 New Sheqel' is inscribed in the field in both Hebrew (שקל חדש) and English. The legend 'ISRAEL' encircles the upper border in three scripts: Hebrew (ישראל), Arabic (اسرائيل), and Latin. The dual date 1989 / 5749 (Hebrew calendar year התשמ"ט) appears along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized composition depicting trees and a leaping gazelle, symbolising the flora and fauna of the Promised Land. The design is rendered in a decorative, semi-abstract artistic style evoking the natural landscape of Israel. Along the left border, a biblical verse from Jeremiah 3:19 is inscribed in Hebrew and English: '...and I shall give thee a pleasant land...' The inscription curves along the rim, framing the central imagery. |
