| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large stylized numeral '10' incorporating a globe motif within the zero, symbolizing universal reach. To the left, a dove in flight carrying an olive branch rises above a multi-lined arc representing a rainbow, rendered in a clean modernist graphic style. The State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears at the top center above the numeral. The denomination legend 'שקלים חדשים / NEW SHEQALIM' is inscribed below the numeral, with the trilingual country name 'ISRAEL / ישראל / اسرائيل' beneath. The date '1998 / תשנ"ח' is inscribed at the lower field, flanked by the scriptural reference 'NOAH'S ARK GEN. CHAPS. 6-9 / תיבת נח בראשית פרקים ו-ט' along the upper periphery. |

| Reverse description | A bold, stylized low-relief composition depicting Noah as a robed figure occupying the right and center of the field, his head tilted upward and his right arm raised toward a dove in flight at the upper left. The dove, rendered with outstretched wings, appears to be released or returning above the outstretched hand. A multi-stranded arc, representing a rainbow, sweeps diagonally across the mid-field, while billowing clouds fill the upper right. The prow of the Ark is suggested in the lower left background. The design is executed in a modernist, sculptural style with broad, simplified forms and satin-finished fields, unmarked by peripheral legends, allowing the figurative scene to occupy the entire flan. |
