| Obverse description | The obverse is divided diagonally into polished proof and matte fields. At upper left, the State of Israel emblem (menorah flanked by olive branches) appears in the matte field. The large numeral '10' dominates the center, with the trilingual legend 'ISRAEL · ישראל' arcing along the upper rim in Latin and Hebrew script. Below the denomination, the inscription 'שקלים חדשים / NEW SHEQALIM' is inscribed in Hebrew and Latin, with the date '1999' and an Arabic-script inscription along the lower arc. A stylized olive branch motif is rendered in the lower left field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the large stylized numerals '2000' arranged prominently across the field, with the '2' ingeniously designed as a dove with an olive branch, referencing the Millennium and the biblical prophecy of peace. The word 'YEAR' and 'שנת' appear above the zeros. A Hebrew inscription from Isaiah 2:4, 'וכתתו חרבותם לאתים', occupies the upper left quadrant in the matte field, while the English translation 'AND THEY SHALL BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES' is inscribed in four lines across the lower portion of the field. The diagonal split between proof and matte finishes mirrors the obverse design. |
