| Reverse description | The reverse bears the bold numeral '1' in high relief dominating the right-center field, with the Hebrew word 'שקל' (Sheqel) inscribed directly beneath it. To the upper left, the official State Emblem of Israel is depicted: a menorah flanked by two olive branches, with the name 'ישראל' (Israel) in Hebrew below the emblem. A trilingual peripheral legend incorporating Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic scripts runs around the lower and right portions of the field, conveying the country name and the Hebrew calendar year date corresponding to the year of issue. The typographic composition, designed by Zvi Narkiss, is architecturally balanced and typographically precise, reflecting his distinguished background as a type designer. The overall design is spare and authoritative, with strong legibility across all three scripts. |
