| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Burning Bush as described in Exodus 3:1–6, rendered as a thorny desert shrub engulfed in stylized flames whose forms suggest undulating sound waves carried by the wind, symbolizing the Divine Voice emanating from within the eternal flame. The composition is richly detailed, with the fire rendered in a dynamic, flowing artistic style that conveys both physical heat and spiritual transcendence. The field is largely consumed by the central imagery, which extends nearly to the coin's rim, leaving no additional legend or inscription on this face. |

KM#387 was struck at the Israel Mint in Jerusalem with a proof finish, and the .925 silver specification places it squarely within the mint's standard commemorative parameters for this period.
