| Obverse description | The obverse features the State emblem of Israel (menorah flanked by olive branches) prominently in the central field, with the denomination '1 שקל חדש / 1 NEW SHEQEL' inscribed below. The word 'ISRAEL' appears in three languages — Hebrew (ישראל), Arabic (إسرائيل), and Latin — encircling the design along with the Hebrew year התשס״ז and the Gregorian year 2007. A dove bearing an olive branch is positioned above the central emblem, serving as a visual prelude to the coin's prophetic theme. The legend 'And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb / וגר זאב עם כבש / Isaiah 11:6 / ישעיהו י״א,ו' arcs across the lower portion of the field in both Hebrew and English. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed scene depicting a wolf tenderly cradling a lamb in its arms, rendered in a naturalistic style that evokes the prophetic vision of peaceful coexistence from Isaiah 11:6. A flourishing grapevine rises to the right and a fig tree to the left, their branches framing the central figural group and referencing the scriptural imagery of 'every man under his vine and under his fig tree.' A dove carrying an olive branch appears above the composition, reinforcing the overarching theme of peace and harmony. The background field is unlettered, allowing the sculptural relief of the wildlife and botanical elements to occupy the full visual space. |
