| Obverse description | Central device depicts an ancient single-handled jug (amphora), flanked symmetrically by palm branches, the design inspired by coinage of the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–135 CE). The legend 'ישראל' (Israel) appears in Hebrew above or around the device, with the Arabic equivalent 'اسرائيل' also inscribed in the field. The overall composition is rendered in a stylized, flat relief characteristic of early Israeli coinage. |

Two stylized olive branches extend upward along the rim, framing the central inscriptions and lending a ceremonial quality to the design. The layout is concentric, with all legends and numerals arranged within the scalloped border. |
