Obverse description	Central field features a stylized olive branch rendered in low relief, flanked on either side by the date expressed in both Western Arabic numerals and Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals. The trilingual legend PALESTINE appears in a circular arrangement around the periphery, inscribed in Hebrew (פלשתינה א״י) at the top, in Latin script in the upper field, and in Arabic (فلسطين) completing the circuit. The design is spare and elegant, with no effigy, reflecting the civil character of the Mandate administration. A dentilated border frames the entire composition.
