| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized tree of life rendered in a flat, graphic design style, with a broad, symmetrical canopy composed of large, boldly outlined leaves filling the upper field. Within the canopy, a three-line Hebrew inscription is integrated into the design, reading שלום תקוה לישראל (Peace, Hope for Israel), the lettering conforming to the shape of the foliage. The trunk is slender and centrally placed, rising from the lower field. The overall composition is clean and modernist, with no additional border or peripheral legend. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Israel's 30th anniversary of independence, this coin was struck during a period of devastating inflation — by 1978, the Israeli pound (lira) was in terminal decline, replaced entirely by the shekel just four years later. The 1,000 lirot denomination, unthinkable a decade earlier, reflects exactly how far the currency had collapsed.
