| Obverse description | The central field features the official Israel Railways logo: a stylized menorah-like design incorporating railway tracks and a Star of David, inscribed with the Hebrew name of the company above. To the left, a square vignette depicts a receding railway track in perspective relief. In the lower field, large Hebrew lettering quotes Isaiah 40:3. The circumferential legend in Latin script reads the English translation of the verse and the issuer's name. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a juxtaposition of two locomotives in bold relief: on the left within a circular vignette, a vintage steam engine shown from the front with billowing smoke; on the right, a modern diesel locomotive bearing the Israel Railways emblem, shown in three-quarter perspective. The composition contrasts the historical origins and contemporary development of Israeli rail transport. The field is plain with no legends. |
