| Reverse description | The reverse presents a wild mountain goat (ibex) standing prominently on a rocky cliff, rendered in a naturalistic style with fine detail in the animal's horns and musculature. Encircling the upper border is a biblical verse from I Samuel 24:2, 'the rocks of the wild goats,' inscribed in both Hebrew and English. The mint year appears along the lower border. The composition effectively captures the rugged terrain of the Judean wilderness in the background field. |
