| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a thirteenth-century Havdalah spicebox of Spanish origin, drawn from the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, rendered in detailed relief at the centre of the field. The Israel State Emblem — a menorah flanked by olive branches — appears above the spicebox. The Gregorian mint year '1993' is inscribed to the right of the spicebox, with the corresponding Hebrew year 'ה׳תשנ״ד' (5754) to the left. Decorative foliate and geometric motifs adorn the border, framing the design in a style evocative of medieval Iberian craftsmanship. |
