| Obverse description | Portrait of Zalman Shazar (1889-1974), politician, author, poet, journalist, and Israel`s third president. Shazar`s lifelong preoccupation with education is reflected by the Candelabrum formed from DNA molecule, as a symbol to the progress of science. In the background - the poem `compulsory education law` written by Natan Alterman in 1949; the denomination `Two Hundred New Sheqalim` and `Bank of Israel` in Hebrew. |
| Reverse description | A young pupil girl writing while leaning over a table; Hebrew characters floating around her, symbolizing Shazar`s efforts during his tenure as minister of education to reform Israel`s education system, culminating in the compulsory education law of 1949; the denomination `Two Hundred New Sheqalim` and `Bank of Israel` in Arabic and English. |
