| Obverse description | The field depicts a stylized panoramic view of Acre: in the center, the Crusader sea fortress rendered in bold relief with stone masonry, a dome, and a minaret rising behind the walls, flanked to the right by a palm tree. To the upper left, an ancient sailing vessel navigates stylized sea waves, with a fish visible in the lower left field. The city name appears in Hebrew at the top and in Latin script as ACRE along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a raised replica of an ancient coin of Acre minted under Emperor Elagabalus (217–222 C.E.), depicting a colonnaded temple facade with figures in relief, set within a beaded border. The surrounding border carries a bilingual legend in Hebrew above and in English below, reading the date range of the ancient coin. Two raised dots flank the central medallion at the mid-field. |
