| Obverse description | The State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by two olive branches — occupies the upper central field, with the face value '1' and the denomination legend 'NEW SHEQEL / שקל חדש' positioned below. The issuer name appears in three scripts: 'ISRAEL' in Latin, 'ישראל' in Hebrew, and 'إسرائيل' in Arabic, arranged around the central devices. The Hebrew year 'התשע"ד' and Gregorian year '2014' are also present in the field, along with the Royal Dutch Mint mark 'מ'. A circular border inscription reads 'JACOB'S DREAM / חלום יעקב / حلم يعقوب' in English, Hebrew, and Arabic respectively, while a stylised depiction of the ladder from Jacob's dream appears as a secondary design element integrated into the composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed artistic scene depicting the biblical narrative of Jacob's Dream (Genesis 28:10–19). The reclining figure of Jacob is shown lying on the ground in the foreground, his posture conveying deep slumber. Rising dramatically from behind him, a grand ladder extends from the earth toward the heavens, with angelic figures ascending and descending along its length. The composition is rendered in a painterly, high-relief style that emphasises depth and spiritual atmosphere, with the ladder and celestial figures dominating the upper portion of the field. The overall design is conceived in a representational figurative tradition consistent with Israeli commemorative coinage of this series. |
