| 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. |
