The inscriptions 'CAPERNAUM' in Latin characters and 'כפר-נחום' in Hebrew appear within the design, identifying the subject of the commemoration. The overall composition reflects the artistic style characteristic of Israeli commemorative gold issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Bank of Israel's ongoing commemorative gold program, this issue marks Capernaum — the fishing village on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee where, according to the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus based much of his Galilean ministry. Excavations at the site accelerated significantly in the late 1970s and early 1980s under Franciscan and Israeli teams, lending the subject immediate archaeological relevance at the time of issue.
The .900 fine specification follows the standard the Bank of Israel adopted for its 5 Sheqalim gold pieces throughout the series, keeping the issues consistent across changing commemorative subjects.
