| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized rampant lion facing left, rendered in a bold, archaic decorative style reminiscent of ancient Near Eastern iconography, with an open mouth and elaborately detailed mane. The State of Israel coat of arms — featuring a menorah flanked by olive branches above the Hebrew legend 'ישראל' — appears in relief in the upper field above the lion. The trilingual country name legend curves along the lower periphery, reading 'ISRAEL' in Latin script to the left, 'ישראל' in Hebrew script at center, and 'إسرائيل' in Arabic script to the right, all separated by the raised rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a lively scene of the Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem, rendered in a detailed illustrative style with contrasting matte and mirror fields. To the left, market stalls laden with produce are attended by vendors and shoppers rendered as stylized silhouettes; in the background rises a stone tower with a crescent moon and sun above it, evoking the market's historic Jerusalem setting. To the right, a couple is seated at a cafe table beneath a Star of David. The denomination '20' appears prominently in large numerals at the upper right of the field, accompanied by the trilingual legends 'שקלים חדשים / NEW SHEKELS' and the date '2021 / התשפ״א'. The legends 'JERUSALEM / ירושלים / أورشليم' arc along the upper border, and '1 OZ. FINE GOLD .9999 / 1 אונקיה זהב טהור 9999' curves along the lower right periphery. |
