| Reverse description | Central field depicts a majestic lion in profile facing right, rendered in bold relief with detailed mane and musculature, set before a background of stylized reeds or grasses that rise vertically behind the figure. The composition evokes the imagery of the Song of Songs. A bilingual inscription curves along the upper and lower border in Hebrew and Latin scripts, citing the source verse; the Hebrew legend 'מְעֹנוֹת אֲרָיוֹת שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים ד:ח' arcs across the upper field, while 'LIONS' DENS SONG OF SONGS' appears along the lower border. The date '1998' is incorporated within the peripheral legend. |
