| Obverse description | At center, the State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by olive branches — is prominently displayed in the field. The face value '1 שקל חדש / 1 NEW SHEQEL' appears below the emblem, while the word 'ISRAEL' in Hebrew (ישראל), Arabic (إسرائيل), and Latin script is inscribed in the lower portion. The Jewish year התשס״ט and the Gregorian year 2009 are noted in the field. A circular border legend in Hebrew, English, and Arabic reads 'AND THE WATERS WERE DIVIDED EX. 14,' referencing the biblical passage from Exodus, chapter 14. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic, stylized scene of the Parting of the Red Sea, rendered in high relief. Moses, staff in hand, leads the Israelites along a dry path through the sea, with towering walls of water rising on either side. The figures of the fleeing Israelites are shown in procession between the parted waters, conveying movement and divine intervention. The composition fills the entire coin face in a richly detailed, illustrative artistic style evoking the biblical narrative of Exodus 14. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse. |
