| Reverse description | The reverse presents a tender scene of a father and young child depicted at equal eye level, jointly holding a balloon adorned with a Star of David — a motif evoking familial bonds and Israeli national identity. The figures are rendered in a warm, illustrative style consistent with the coin's commemorative theme. The trilingual legend 'THE CHILDREN IN ISRAEL / הילדים בישראל / ألأولاد في إسرائيل' is inscribed in the field, incorporating Hebrew, English, and Arabic scripts. The composition is open and centered, with the paired figures dominating the coin's face against a smooth background field. |

| Additional information |
Israel's annual Independence Day coin series has produced gold issues since the 1960s, each tied to a specific demographic or social theme chosen by the Bank of Israel. The 2004 issue, marking the 56th anniversary of independence, focused on children — a recurring subject in Israeli commemorative policy during periods when the government was emphasizing demographic growth and immigration absorption, particularly following the large Russian aliyah waves of the 1990s that significantly reshaped the country's population structure.
