| Obverse description | Central field depicts a lightning bolt striking and splitting a fallen axe bearing a swastika, set against a broken tree stump with a slender young sapling rising behind it, symbolizing destruction and rebirth. The Hebrew year 5705 in Roman numerals (VDCCV) appears to the left, and the Gregorian year 1945 (MCMXLV) to the right. A Latin legend in relief runs around the border. |
