| Obverse description | The obverse features the large numeral '10' prominently displayed in the center-right field, overlapping a stylized ladder that extends to the right rim, referencing the biblical ladder of Jacob's Dream. To the upper left, the State of Israel coat of arms — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears above trilingual legends. The Hebrew inscription 'שקלים חדשים' and its Latin equivalent 'NEW SHEQALIM' are inscribed to the left of the numeral, with 'ISRAEL', 'ישראל', and 'إسرائيل' below, followed by the Gregorian date '2014' and Hebrew date 'התשע״ד'. Along the left border, the title inscription in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin — 'חלום יעקב בראשית כח', 'حلم يعقوب التكوين 28', and 'JACOB'S DREAM GENESIS 28' — curves around the rim, with a mint mark 'מ' appearing in the lower center field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized artistic composition illustrating the biblical narrative of Jacob's Dream from Genesis 28. In the lower portion of the field, a reclining figure of Jacob is depicted in a simplified, modern artistic style, his head resting on a stone. Rising from behind the figure, a ladder ascends toward the upper rim, along which four winged angels — rendered in a graceful, rounded sculptural manner — are shown ascending and descending. The design is uncluttered and entirely imagistic, with no legends or inscriptions, allowing the allegorical scene full artistic expression across the polished proof field. |
