| Obverse description | A proto-Aeolic column capital rendered in relief at center, replicating an archaeological find from the 7th–8th century BCE excavated at Ramat Rachel near Jerusalem, exemplifying the Phoenician architectural style employed by craftsmen during the construction of the Temple of Solomon. The denomination '5 לירות ישראליות' (5 Israeli Lirot) appears in Hebrew in the upper right field. A three-line inscription at center presents the name 'Israel' in Hebrew and Arabic, flanked by the Gregorian year '1964' and its Hebrew calendrical equivalent 'תשכ״ד'. The overall composition is rendered in a formal, archaeological style befitting a commemorative issue. |
