Obverse description The obverse presents a divided composition across a polished and frosted field. In the lower right quadrant, a detailed high-relief depiction of the ancient sea walls and fortifications of Akko (Acre) occupies the foreground. To the upper left, the State of Israel emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears above the denomination numeral '2' and the legend 'שקלים חדשים / NEW SHEQALIM'. The trilingual country name 'ISRAEL / ישראל / إسرائيل' runs along the left rim, while the Hebrew year 'התשע' and Gregorian year '2010' are inscribed at upper right. The UNESCO logo is displayed to the right of the denomination, referencing Old Akko's World Heritage Site status, and a mint mark 'מ' appears in the lower field.
