| Reverse description | The central field bears a five-line Hebrew inscription in bold relief, quoting the opening of Israel's Declaration of Independence: 'In the Land of Israel the Jewish people arose.' Below the inscription, the Hebrew date '5 Iyar 5708–5748' and the Gregorian years '1948–1988' appear in the exergue. The circumferential legend in English, 'ERETZ ISRAEL WAS THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE,' runs around the rim, with a Star of David separating the beginning and end of the text. |
