| Obverse description | A prominent cluster of grapes suspended from a curved vine branch occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with individually detailed berries. The country name appears in Hebrew script (ישראל) along the upper arc and in Arabic script (اسرائيل) along the lower arc, flanking the central motif. The entire design is contained within a finely beaded border running the full circumference of the coin. The grape cluster is a deliberate reference to the biblical spies of Canaan, a recurring symbol in early Israeli coinage. |

The Hebrew date תש״ט (5709) appears in the lower field beneath the denomination. The entire central design is enclosed within a wreath of two symmetrical olive branches meeting at the base, tied with a small bow, and the composition is framed by a beaded border. |
