| Reverse description | The reverse presents an ornate ancient gateway rendered in a style that blends oriental and western architectural motifs. Within the intricate decorative patterns of the gateway, a Star of David and a grapevine motif can be distinguished upon close inspection. The arched top of the gateway bears the Hebrew inscription 'ואהבת לרעך כמוך' ('Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself'), integrated into the architectural design, while the same phrase in English appears within the arch. The Arabic translation of this verse is inscribed along the lower border of the coin. The overall composition creates a harmonious interplay between the architectural structure and the trilingual scriptural inscription. |
