| Obverse description | The obverse displays the State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches with the Hebrew legend ישראל — positioned to the upper left of the field, alongside the bold numeral '10' to its right. Below, the denomination is inscribed in three scripts: Hebrew שקלים חדשים, Latin NEW SHEQALIM, and the trilingual country name ISRAEL / ישראל / اسرائيل arranged horizontally across the central field. A circular border legend in Hebrew reads יעקב ורחל בראשית כט along the upper rim, with JACOB AND RACHEL GEN.29 along the lower rim, and the Hebrew year התשס"ג and Gregorian year 2003 positioned along the right periphery. The mint mark מ appears at the base of the central field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized, high-relief depiction of the biblical scene of Jacob and Rachel's first meeting, as recounted in Genesis 29. Two figures rendered in a bold, modernist graphic style face one another in the upper portion of the field, their robes rendered with geometric patterning; between them they hold a lamb. Beneath the figures, a flowering plant rises from a low hillock on which two sheep stand in the lower field, evoking the pastoral setting at the well of Haran. The composition is uncluttered, occupying the full field without a surrounding legend, allowing the figurative design to command the entire reverse. |
