| Obverse description | Two pomegranates suspended from a leafy branch occupy the left and central field, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished background. The State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears to the upper right. The trilingual country name 'ISRAEL' in Latin, 'ישראל' in Hebrew, and 'إسرائيل' in Arabic arcs along the upper border. The denomination '1' in large numeral is displayed centrally to the right, with 'שקל חדש' in Hebrew and 'NEW SHEQEL' in Latin below. A curved inscription along the lower border reads 'Piece of a pomegranate' and 'SONG OF SONGS 4:3' with the Hebrew scriptural reference, identifying the biblical source of the design. |
