| Obverse description | The obverse presents a bold typographic composition in the highly polished proof field, featuring the Biblical quotation 'And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb' rendered in three scripts: large Hebrew characters (וגר זאב עם כבש) dominate the upper and central area, with the English translation in italic script below, and the Arabic equivalent (وسكن الذئب مع الحمل) beneath that. The State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears in the upper left field. Surrounding legends along the rim read 'ISRAEL 2008' in Latin, 'ישראל התשס״ח' in Hebrew to the left, and 'إسرائيل' in Arabic to the right. The denomination '1 שקל חדש / NEW SHEQEL' is inscribed along the lower rim, with a small mint mark at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a serene pastoral scene inspired by the prophetic vision of Isaiah 11:6, showing a wolf and a lamb resting peacefully together beneath the spreading branches of a flowering tree laden with fruit and foliage. The lamb, rendered with stylized curling fleece, lies in the foreground, while the wolf stands protectively behind it, its head turned toward the viewer. The naturalistic composition fills the entire field to the rim, with the tree's branches forming a canopy across the upper portion of the design, evoking a sense of harmony and peace in a finely engraved, high-relief style. |
