| Obverse description | At center, the State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by olive branches — is prominently displayed within the field. The face value '10 שקלים חדשים / NEW SHEQALIM' appears in Hebrew and English, with the country name 'ISRAEL / ישראל / إسرائيل' inscribed in Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic scripts around the design. The Hebrew calendar year התשס״ד and Gregorian year 2004 are both present, with the Royal Dutch Mint mark 'מ' at the lower left border. Three fundamental geometric forms — a triangle, a circle, and a square — are incorporated into the lower border of the design, establishing the thematic link between architecture, design, and mathematical form. |

| Reverse description | The central design features a bold, three-dimensional rendering of the Hebrew letter 'Aleph' (א), constructed entirely from the three elemental geometric shapes — triangle, circle, and square — that also appear on the obverse, here reiterated in the lower right border. The sculptural treatment of the letterform gives it architectural depth and visual complexity, directly referencing the coin's theme. The bilingual inscription 'אדריכלות ועיצוב / ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN' is lettered in Hebrew and English within the design field. The overall composition reflects a modernist aesthetic, celebrating Israeli contributions to architecture and design. |
