| Reverse description | The dominant design element is a large stylized rendering of the Hebrew letter Mem (מ), evoking the form of the Tablets of the Law, occupying the upper central field. Within and below the letter, the Hebrew scriptural inscription 'כל בכור בניך תפדה' (Every firstborn of your sons you shall redeem, Exodus 34:20) is rendered in bold, decorative Hebrew lettering. Two small diamond-shaped ornaments flank the text at mid-field. Along the lower exergue, the inscription 'מטבע פדיון הבן' (Pidyon Haben coin) appears in smaller Hebrew characters. |
