| Reverse description | Central field depicts the Dome of the Rock in detailed relief, with its characteristic golden dome and surrounding arcade clearly rendered against a mirror-like proof background. The Arabic legend 'القدس الشرقية' (East Jerusalem) arches across the upper portion of the octagonal flan, with the Islamic Hijri year '١٤٤٦' (1446 AH) inscribed to the right of the dome. The Hebrew inscription 'מזרח ירושלים' (East Jerusalem) occupies the lower field in large characters, while the Gregorian year '2024' appears centrally below the main architectural motif. |

| Additional information |
Israel has issued commemorative medals and coins referencing Jerusalem consistently since the 1970s, but pieces specifically denominated and framed around East Jerusalem carry political freight that most numismatic issues deliberately avoid. Issued in 2024, this piece enters the market at a moment when Israeli sovereignty claims over the entirety of Jerusalem remain contested under international law, with the majority of UN member states declining to recognize the eastern sector as Israeli territory.
Silver-plated copper-nickel at this diameter is a production choice that keeps costs accessible for the collector market without qualifying as a precious-metal issue.
