| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold geometric composition dominated by a large numeral '10' rendered in a modernist graphic style, with the left half of the digit forming a sweeping arc that frames the central field. Within the right portion of the design, the State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches above the Hebrew inscription — is displayed within a raised circular cartouche. Below the emblem, the denomination is inscribed in Hebrew (שקלים) and Latin (SHEQALIM). The country name appears in Hebrew (ישראל) along the upper border and in Latin (ISRAEL) along the lower, with the Arabic legend (اسرائيل) at the left. The date 1983 and the Hebrew year התשמ"ג appear in the lower field near a small mint mark. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold modernist design built around a large Star of David rendered in geometric faceted planes, filling most of the coin's field in a tangram-like composition of interlocking triangles and rectangles. At the center, within a raised square cartouche, appears the emblem of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF): a sword entwined with an olive branch set within a shield-shaped Star of David. At the lower portion of the field, the Hebrew acronym צה"ל (Tzahal, the IDF) is rendered in large, angular stylized lettering integrated into the geometric design. The overall composition is executed in high relief with contrasting matte and polished surfaces, conveying a powerful martial and national symbolism. |
