Obverse description At center, the Israel State Emblem (menorah flanked by olive branches) appears to the right of the face value, while a lily of the valleys is depicted to the left. The denomination '2 NEW SHEQALIM' is inscribed in Hebrew and English within the field. The country name 'ISRAEL' appears in three scripts — Hebrew (ישראל), Arabic (اسرائيل), and Latin — arranged around the design. A biblical quotation, 'lily of the valleys' with the source citation 'Song of Songs 2:1' (שיר השירים ב,א), is rendered in both Hebrew and English. The overall design is executed in a refined artistic style befitting a commemorative proof issue.
