| Reverse description | A large oval cartouche dominates the centre of the field, containing five ancient Judaean silver shekel coins rendered in relief, interspersed with a stylised Hebrew inscription from Exodus 13:13 reading 'כל בכור בניך תפדה' (all the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem). Outside the cartouche, along the right rim, the Hebrew legend מטבע פדיון הבן (Pidyon Haben redemption coin) is inscribed in a bold, decorative script. The overall composition evokes the biblical rite of the redemption of the firstborn son, combining ancient numismatic imagery with calligraphic artistry. |
