| Obverse description | At left center, an intaglio portrait vignette of Levi Eshkol, third Prime Minister of Israel, faces three-quarters right; to the right, a stylized panoramic cityscape of Jerusalem integrates both the Old City and modern districts in a unified composition. The denomination in Hebrew, 'חמשה שקלים חדשים' (Five New Sheqalim), and the issuer inscription 'בנק ישראל' (Bank of Israel) appear alongside the numeral '5'; a guilloche underprint frames the design. Eshkol's tenure dates and a brief biographical legend in Hebrew are printed along the right edge. |
