| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a dramatic high-relief scene of Jewish refugees wading through water and climbing gangplanks to board a ship visible in the upper field. In the foreground, two large portrait busts of refugees — an elderly bearded man and a younger figure — are rendered in bold relief, conveying desperation and determination. The composition fills the entire field with no border legend, evoking the clandestine post-Holocaust emigration voyages to Palestine. |
