| Reverse description | The reverse presents a powerful artistic depiction of Moses, rendered in high relief, enveloped in a sweeping aura of radiance that emanates from his figure. He is shown embracing the two Tablets of the Law, upon which the opening word of each of the Ten Commandments is inscribed in ancient paleo-Hebrew script. The composition is dynamic and expressive, with the flowing robes and dramatic lighting effects conveying both spiritual authority and divine revelation. The design fills the coin field entirely, with no additional inscriptions on this face, allowing the sculptural imagery to dominate. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Israel's ongoing Biblical Art series, this 2005 gold piece belongs to a program that began in the 1990s and has drawn consistent collector interest internationally. The series was never intended for circulation — production runs are tightly controlled and the coins are sold directly through the Bank of Israel and authorized distributors.
KM#401 carries a relatively modest mintage by modern commemorative standards, though precise figures varied by packaging tier.
