| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic, highly detailed scene of the parting of the Red Sea, rendered in deep relief. Moses, staff in hand, leads the Israelites through a corridor of towering walls of water that rise on either side, with figures of men, women, and children visible in the procession making their way to safety. The composition conveys a sense of movement and divine power, with the water rendered in flowing, sculptural forms dominating the field. The design is executed in a fine art illustrative style befitting a commemorative issue, with no inscriptions or lettering in the reverse field. |
