| Obverse description | At center, the State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears in the field above the face value '10 New Sheqalim.' The legend 'ISRAEL' is inscribed in three scripts (Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin) surrounding the central device, with the mint year and mint mark also present. Along the lower border, a decorative frieze incorporates stylized motifs of camels and a water jug, referencing the biblical narrative. The inscription 'ISAAC AND REBECCA' appears in Hebrew, Arabic, and English around the lower arc. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed scene from the Book of Genesis, depicting the moment Rebecca first glimpses Isaac. To the left, Isaac stands in an open field gazing toward the approaching caravan. At center, the servant Eliezer leads Rebecca, who is mounted upon a camel and turns her gaze toward Isaac. Additional camels and the forms of tents are rendered in the background, evoking the ancient Near Eastern pastoral setting. The composition is executed in high relief with rich narrative detail characteristic of the Israel Mint's commemorative coinage series. |
