| Reverse description | The reverse features an architectural rendering of the Shrine of the Book, the distinctive wing-shaped white dome of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, shown with its characteristic curved profile and the low basalt black wall at its base enclosing a reflecting pool of water. In the upper central field, an extract from the Great Isaiah Scroll — one of the original seven Dead Sea Scrolls discovered at Qumran — is reproduced in Hebrew text. The upper border carries the inscription 'JERUSALEM' in Latin, Hebrew (ירושלים), and Arabic (أورشليم). To the right, the face value, mint year in both Gregorian (2013) and Hebrew calendar (התשע״ג) notations, the Star of David mint mark, and the fineness designation '1 OZ. FINE GOLD .9999' are inscribed. |
