| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic landscape view of the Qumran cliffs, faithfully rendered to evoke the rugged terrain of the Judean Desert where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the cave sites visible in the composition. The toponym 'QUMRAN' appears in Latin script alongside its Hebrew equivalent 'קומראן', set against a textured background evoking fragments of the ancient scroll manuscripts. The overall design conveys an austere archaeological gravitas, commemorating the significance of the Qumran site as one of the most important biblical manuscript discoveries of the twentieth century. |
