| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field depicts an ancient galley characteristic of the Herodian period, its design derived from the motif found on bronze Prutah coins struck during the reign of Herod. The vessel is rendered in fine detail, evoking the maritime heritage of the ancient port of Caesarea. A bilingual commemorative legend surrounds the design, reading 'אלפיים שנה לנמל קיסריה' in Hebrew and 'THE PORT OF CAESAREA – TWO MILLENNIA' in English, marking two thousand years since the port's founding under Herod the Great. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesarea Maritima was built by Herod the Great beginning around 22 BCE and completed roughly a decade later, featuring one of the ancient world's most ambitious artificial harbors — Sebastos — constructed using hydraulic concrete poured into the open sea, a technique the Romans had pioneered but rarely deployed at this scale. The port served as Judaea's primary maritime gateway under Roman administration and was the city from which Pontius Pilate governed.
This coin is part of Israel's ongoing "Landmarks" commemorative series. The 1995 issue coincides with active archaeological excavation at the submerged harbor site by the Caesarea Ancient Harbour Excavation Project.
