| Reverse description | A lulav (palm branch bound with myrtle and willow) depicted upright in the centre of the field, with a yellow citron (etrog) positioned to the left, both ritual objects associated with the festival of Sukkot. The design is bold and schematic, consistent with the hammered coinage of the Bar Kokhba revolt. The Hebrew inscription 'שנת אחת לגאלת ישראל' (Year one of the redemption of Israel) encircles the central motif within a beaded border, invoking the religious and nationalistic aspirations of the revolt. |
