| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly stylized portrait of Albert Einstein rendered through concentric circular and curved lines engineered to reflect light at varying angles, creating a dynamic, holographic-like effigy of the scientist.

The legend 'THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY - 1905 - 2005' appears in English, Hebrew (תורת היחסות), and Arabic (نظرية النسبية), commemorating the centenary of Einstein's annus mirabilis papers. |
