| Obverse description | At center, the face value is expressed in Hebrew and English within the field, with the mint year inscribed below. The name ISRAEL appears in Hebrew, Arabic, and English beneath the date. To the left stands the State emblem (menorah flanked by olive branches), surmounted by a decorative crown motif. A bilingual border legend in English and Hebrew reads 'Solomon's Judgement — France c.1280', encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces, in fine relief, a 13th-century French illuminated manuscript illustration depicting the Judgement of Solomon. Enthroned at center, King Solomon is shown crowned and robed, holding a scepter in his left hand and gesturing with his right; to his right a soldier raises a sword over an infant. To Solomon's left, two women appear — one presenting a child and the other supplicating — faithfully capturing the biblical scene in the linear, stylized manner characteristic of Gothic manuscript art of circa 1280. |
