| Reverse description | The reverse features an artistic rendering of the numeral '60' commemorating Israel's 60th anniversary of independence. The '6' is composed of flowing curved lines extending upward symbolically toward the heavens, while the '0' is formed by the outline of a pomegranate surmounted by a royal crown, emblematic of fruitfulness and prosperity. Within the interior of the '0' a dove carrying an olive branch is depicted, representing aspirations for peace. The design makes skillful use of contrasting proof and matte frosted finishes to emphasize individual design elements. The border legend 'Israel's 60th Anniversary' appears in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. |
