| Obverse description | Central field features the State of Israel coat of arms — a menorah flanked by olive branches above a shield — set within concentric multilingual legends. The outer legend reads 'ISRAEL' in Latin, 'ישראל' in Hebrew, and 'اسرائيل' in Arabic, arranged around the upper periphery. A second inner legend band carries the denomination '10 שקלים חדשים NEW SHEQALIM', the Hebrew year 'התשס"ב', the Gregorian year '2002', and the thematic inscriptions 'מגדל בבל בראשית יא' and 'TOWER OF BABEL GEN.11', all arranged concentrically around the central device. The design employs a formal, typographic style characteristic of Israeli commemorative coinage, with legends in three scripts occupying the full field. |
