| Reverse description | The reverse presents a naturalistic landscape view of the Jordan River, rendered in fine detail with the snow-capped Hermon Mountain range receding toward the horizon in the background. In the foreground to the right, rocky outcroppings and clusters of Common Reed (Phragmites australis) vegetation frame the river scene, evoking the characteristic riparian environment of the Jordan Valley. The trilingual legend 'נהר הירדן / نهر الأردن / JORDAN RIVER' is inscribed in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin script, identifying the subject of the commemorative issue. |
