| Obverse description | At upper left, a stylized football rendered as a globe in orbital motion evokes the international scope and dynamism of the FIFA World Cup. The State Emblem of Israel (menorah flanked by olive branches) appears centrally, accompanied by the face value '2' and the denomination 'NEW SHEQALIM' inscribed in Hebrew and English. The issuer name 'ISRAEL' is rendered in three scripts — Hebrew, English, and Arabic — arranged around the field. The mint year is recorded in both Gregorian (2013) and Hebrew calendar (5773 / התשע״ג) notations, with the Royal Dutch Mint mark ('מ') positioned in the lower central exergue. |

| Additional information |
Israel has issued commemorative coins for FIFA World Cups since at least the 1990s, a curious tradition given the Israeli national team has never qualified for the tournament. The 2014 Brazil edition was part of a broader international licensing program FIFA ran with mints and central banks worldwide, generating revenue through official commemorative series rather than any direct sporting connection.
KM#513 is one of several Israeli silver issues from this period struck at the Israel Coins and Medals Corp. in Jerusalem.
