| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the biblical scene of Daniel in the lions' den, rendered in a bold, stylised relief. A central standing figure, robed in flowing garments, raises both arms upward in a posture of prayer or supplication, with radiating beams of divine light descending from a grated window or opening at the top of the composition. Two large, confronting lions flank the figure symmetrically, their manes and open mouths rendered with pronounced detail, yet the beasts remain passive in the presence of the prophet. The composition fills the entire field to the rim, with no inscriptions on this face, allowing the figurative scene to dominate. The artistic style draws on ancient Near Eastern iconographic conventions while employing a modern, flat-relief approach consistent with contemporary Israeli commemorative coinage. |
