| Obverse description | At centre, the State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears in relief within the field. The face value '10 NEW SHEQALIM' is inscribed in Hebrew and English, with the country name 'ISRAEL' rendered in Hebrew (ישראל), Arabic (إسرائيل), and Latin script. The outer border carries the commemorative legend 'INDEPENDENCE DAY – 2002' in both Hebrew and English, encircling the design. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Israel's commemorative coin program, which has produced collector-focused gold pieces annually since the 1960s, this 2002 release honors the volunteer sector — a historically significant pillar of Israeli civil society given the country's reliance on civilian emergency and welfare organizations since its founding. The program's coins are legal tender but struck exclusively for collectors and have never meaningfully circulated.
The .916 fineness places this squarely in the 22-karat crown gold tradition used across much of the Bank of Israel's gold output for this period.
