| Obverse description | The State Emblem of Israel — a menorah flanked by olive branches — occupies the central field. Surrounding it, the face value, mint year, and the inscription 'TOWER OF BABEL GEN. 11' in both Hebrew and English are arranged in a continuous spiral legend, evoking an aerial perspective as if viewed from above the tower's summit. The issuer name 'ISRAEL' appears in Hebrew (ישראל), English, and Arabic (إسرائيل), all integrated into the spiraling text composition. The overall design creates a striking optical illusion of depth and rotational movement. |
