| Reverse description | The central field features two gazelles — a large adult hart with prominent antlers standing behind a smaller young hart — depicted in fine relief against a stylized landscape of tall grasses rendered in linear engraving. The surrounding legend reads along the upper arc in Latin 'A YOUNG HART (song of songs 8:14)' with the Gregorian year '1993' and Hebrew year 'התשנ״ד' to the upper left. Along the lower arc, the Hebrew inscription 'לעפר האילים (שיר השירים ח,יד)' quotes Song of Songs 8:14 in Hebrew script, identifying the subject as a young hart. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Israel's annual Hanukkah coin program, which the Bank of Israel has maintained since 1958 as a vehicle for commemorative silver production. The Young Hart and Apple Tree design draws from Song of Songs, continuing the bank's practice of anchoring holiday issues in biblical and literary sources rather than political or military themes — a deliberate policy distinction from the country's circulation coinage.
