Below the emblem, the country name appears in three scripts: Hebrew (ישראל), Latin (ISRAEL), and Arabic (اسرائيل). The denomination '20' is prominently rendered in large numerals at center, flanked by the Hebrew words 'שקלים' and 'חדשים', with 'NEW SHEQALIM' inscribed in Latin script beneath. The Jewish calendar year התשנ״ז and the Gregorian year 1996 appear in the lower field, followed by the mint mark 'מ' at the bottom. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, high-relief right-facing portrait bust of Yitzhak Rabin, rendered in a naturalistic sculptural style with strong facial modelling. The subject is depicted in civilian attire, with fine detail applied to the facial features characteristic of engraver Aharon Kahana's work. An arc of Hebrew lettering along the upper rim reads 'יצחק רבין התרפ״ב – התשנ״ו', giving his name and the Hebrew calendar years of his birth and death. The Latin legend 'YITZHAK RABIN 1922–1995' curves along the lower left periphery of the coin, completing the bilingual tribute inscription. |
