| Reverse description | The central device features a stylized Star of David, whose geometric angles are artistically adapted to incorporate two distinct motifs: on the right, three points of the star define the silhouette of an athlete in a starting position, while on the left, two points form the outline of a stadium structure. Parallel lines radiating on either side of the design symbolize speed, strength, and athletic movement. The lower border carries the inscription 'THE IX PARALYMPIC GAMES BARCELONA '92' in Latin script, while the upper border bears the Hebrew equivalent 'אולימפיאדת הנכים ברצלונה התשנ״ב', completing the bilingual commemorative legend. |

| Additional information |
Israel's 1992 Paralympic commemorative series marked the country's strong competitive presence at the Barcelona Games, where Israeli athletes brought home medals across several disciplines. The issue was produced under the Bank of Israel's long-running commemorative program, which had been generating collector-targeted gold and silver releases since the 1960s — a program designed as much for foreign exchange earnings as for domestic commemoration.
.900 fine at this weight places the actual gold content just under a quarter-ounce, a specification shared across several Israeli commemoratives of the period.
