| Obverse description | The obverse features the large numeral '10' prominently in the left field, below which the denomination appears in Hebrew ('שקלים חדשים') and Latin ('NEW SHEQALIM'). To the right, a stylized silhouette of a standing figure — representing S.Y. Agnon — is depicted in profile. The State of Israel emblem (menorah with olive branches) appears at the upper right, accompanied by multilingual legends in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin arranged in a circular arc along the right periphery, including the country name 'ISRAEL / ישראל / إسرائيل', the year '2008', and the Hebrew year 'התשס״ח'. The mint mark 'מ' appears in the lower left field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed portrait bust of Nobel laureate S.Y. Agnon in three-quarter left-facing profile, depicted in his characteristic pose with one hand raised to adjust his spectacles. The relief is finely rendered in a realistic artistic style, capturing the author's distinctive features, suit, and tie. A circular legend runs along the upper periphery in Latin ('S.Y. AGNON – NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 1966') and Hebrew ('פרס נובל לספרות – ש״י עגנון'), with the Hebrew text appearing on the right side of the arc. The highly polished proof fields provide strong contrast to the frosted portrait design. |
