| Obverse description | The obverse features large Hebrew script letters forming the word 'Yiddish' in the upper field, intertwined with the Latin legend 'Yiddish' rendered in a stylized cursive relief. A speech bubble in the centre bears the Yiddish legend 'מאמע לשון' (Mama Loshen). In the lower field, two figures stand atop a globe representing the world, with clouds flanking them, symbolising the universal reach of Yiddish culture. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a flying Klezmer musician playing a violin in the centre of the field, with musical notes scattered around him. Below, a stylised cityscape combines modern Israeli buildings flying the Israeli flag alongside traditional Eastern European shtetl architecture, uniting Israel and the Diaspora. A bold Hebrew legend arcs across the upper portion of the field reading 'יודל מיטן פידל' (A Jew with a Violin). |
