| Obverse description | The obverse centers on a stylized Omer cup rendered in low relief, featuring a hemispherical bowl set upon a short baluster stem and a broad splayed foot, with the cup's rim decorated by a row of spherical pellets recalling ancient Jewish ceremonial vessels. The two-line Hebrew legend 'SHEQEL ISRAEL' (שקל ישראל) is inscribed in bold square-script characters across the upper field. A six-pointed Star of David (Magen David) occupies the lower field beneath the foot of the cup, serving as the privy mark distinguishing this piedfort issue from the standard circulation strike. The design was executed by engraver Gabi Neumann and reflects a clean, modernist aesthetic consistent with Israeli commemorative coinage of the period. The field is otherwise unadorned, directing full attention to the central device and legends. |
