Beschrijving voorzijde	Central device depicts a two-handled amphora rendered in relief, inspired by coinage of the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–135 CE). The amphora is positioned centrally within the field. Flanking inscriptions reading 'Israel' appear in Hebrew (ישראל) to the right and in Arabic (اسرائيل) to the left, serving as the sole legends on this face.

Aanvullende informatie	Israel's early coinage program moved quickly after independence, but aluminum struck poorly in high-volume production runs, and the 1957 10 Pruta is no exception — the series is well-documented for inconsistent planchet quality across mintages of this period. The pruta denomination itself was inherited from the Ottoman and British Mandate monetary vocabulary, repurposed for the new state before the entire pruta series was rendered obsolete by the 1960 monetary reform, which introduced the agorot system at a ratio of 1000 prutot to the pound.
