| Reverse description | A detailed naturalistic depiction of a white stork (Ciconia ciconia) standing on one leg in a shallow pool of water, with aquatic plants rendered in the background. To the right of the central motif, a Hebrew inscription from Psalms 104:17 reads 'חסידה ברושים ביתה' ('As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house'). The same biblical citation in English, 'the stork, the fir-trees are her house / PSALMS 104:17', appears along the upper right border. The Jewish year תשנ"ט and the Gregorian year 1998 appear in the lower field. |
