| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold artistic composition centered on a stylized fig leaf rendered in high relief, its lobed contours elegantly dominating the field. Incorporated within the organic form of the leaf are the silhouetted outlines of a male and female figure, representing Adam and Eve in accordance with the Genesis narrative. The design, conceived by artist Yossi Lemel, employs a graphic, modern aesthetic in which the human forms are subtly integrated into the natural motif, suggesting concealment and the Fall. The smooth, uncluttered field surrounding the leaf enhances the visual impact of the central device. The overall composition is executed in proof quality with fine detail in the leaf's veining and figure outlines. |
