The upper periphery carries the trilingual country name 'ישראל / اسرائيل / ISRAEL' in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin respectively, while the lower periphery bears the Gregorian year '1989' and the Hebrew calendar year 'התש״ן', accompanied by the mint mark 'מ' denoting the Jerusalem Mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized panoramic view of the ancient port city of Jaffa. The lower portion of the field is dominated by boldly rendered concentric wave lines sweeping across a shoreline, conveying the Mediterranean Sea. In the middle ground, the silhouetted skyline of Jaffa is shown, including a prominent minaret and the stepped outline of the old city's buildings. Radiating sun rays emanate from a central lighthouse or tower on the horizon, while a small sailboat appears to the right on the open sea. The bilingual legend 'JAFFA' in Latin script and 'יפו' in Hebrew appears along the upper periphery of the dodecagonal flan. |
