| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the patriarch Abraham standing beneath a vast, star-filled night sky, rendered in a richly detailed artistic style evoking the biblical narrative of Genesis 15. The figure is shown gazing upward in contemplation, symbolizing the divine promise that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. The composition is designed in an illustrative, painterly manner characteristic of Israeli commemorative coinage of this period, with the open sky dominating the upper field and the figure of Abraham anchoring the lower portion. |
