| Obverse description | The obverse features an entirely typographic design across the flat field, bearing the numeral '50' prominently at the top, followed by the Hebrew legend commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the city name 'וואַרשה', the dates '1943 - 1993' in large relief numerals at centre, and the English legend '50 YEARS SINCE THE UPRISING IN WARSAW GHETTO' in the lower portion. No figurative imagery is present; the design relies solely on bold inscriptions in both Hebrew and English. |
