| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, modernist composition commemorating the struggle for Soviet Jewish emigration. The left two-thirds of the field is dominated by a stylized design of vertical bars or prison bars rendered in deep relief, evoking imprisonment and the plight of Jews behind the Iron Curtain, with the silhouette of a figure partially visible between the bars. To the right, the bilingual legend 'שלח את עמי' in Hebrew and 'LET MY PEOPLE GO' in Latin characters is inscribed in a stacked, emphatic arrangement, referencing the biblical injunction from Exodus and its modern resonance for Soviet Jewry. |
