| Reverse description | Plain field displaying the Hebrew settlement name in two lines of bold raised Hebrew script: זִכְרוֹן (upper line) and יַעֲקֹב (lower line), reading 'Zikhron Ya'akov' (Memorial of Jacob). A small horizontal ornamental rule or dash divides the lower field below the inscription. The field is otherwise unadorned, emphasizing the legibility of the Hebrew lettering. The design mirrors the obverse in its typographic simplicity, providing the bilingual identification of the issuing colony. |
