| Reverse description | The large numeral '10' and the Hebrew word 'לירות' (lirot) are displayed prominently within a recessed square frame at centre, denoting the face value. Below the frame, the State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches — is struck in relief. Surrounding inscriptions in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin give the country name 'ISRAEL' / 'ישראל' / 'اسرائيل' and the Jewish year תשל״ז (5737) along the lower arc, with the mint mark appearing to the right of the square. |
