| Obverse description | At center, the State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by two olive branches — rendered in relief against a field textured to evoke the stratified layers of geological rock formations. The face value '10 / שקלים חדשים / NEW SHEKELS' appears in the lower field, while the legend 'INDEPENDENCE DAY 2022' and its Hebrew equivalent 'יום העצמאות התשפ"ב' arc around the design. The trilingual inscription 'ISRAEL / ישראל / إسرائيل' and the mint mark are also present on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic cross-sectional view of the exposed geological strata forming the Israeli makhtesh (erosion cirque) craters, illustrating distinct horizontal rock layers in varying relief to convey depth and geological age. Above the rocky landscape, an eagle is shown in flight. The trilingual legend 'MAKHTESHIM / מכתשים / مجران' appears across the field, identifying the subject in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. |
