| Reverse description | The reverse presents an allegorical composition celebrating Israeli tourism. A stylized sun rises above a seascape in which a sailing vessel navigates the water. In the foreground, a hotel room key with a tag inscribed 'Israel' in both English and Hebrew is prominently featured. Two archaeological motifs frame the design: a classical column characteristic of the late Second Temple period and a carved stone lintel from the ancient synagogue at Bar'am. The legends 'ישראל' and 'ISRAEL' appear within the design. |

Israel's annual Independence Day coin program has rotated through national themes since 1958, with Tourism selected for the 45th anniversary issue. The series carries legal tender status but was never intended for circulation — these were sold directly to collectors through the Government Coins and Medals Corporation, the state body that has handled commemorative distribution since the early statehood period.
