| Obverse description | A tall, detailed date palm tree occupies the central field, its fronds spreading broadly at the crown and clusters of fruit visible at the base of the fronds. To the left of the trunk, the country name appears in Hebrew (ישראל) and in Arabic (اسرائيل) arranged vertically along the left rim. A small six-pointed Star of David is positioned to the right of the palm trunk in the lower field. The design is contained within a slightly recessed inner border, lending a clean, modern aesthetic to the composition. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '10' dominates the upper portion of the field in bold, prominent relief. Beneath it, the denomination legend אגורות (Agorot) is inscribed in Hebrew. In the lower field, two additional lines of Hebrew text record the Jewish calendar year תשל״ג and the commemorative inscription שנת כ״ה למדינה, meaning 'Year 25 of the State,' marking the 25th anniversary of Israel's independence. The reverse design is engraved in a clean, modern style with an inner raised border framing the legends. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Israel's 25th anniversary in 1973, this commemorative fell in the same year as the Yom Kippur War — the surprise Egyptian and Syrian offensive launched on October 6th. The Bank of Israel continued normal commemorative production that year despite the mobilization crisis, a detail that gives the civilian output of 1973 an odd historical texture.
