| Obverse description | The field features a stylized dove in high relief with wings broadly spread and body inclined to the right, the wingtips and feet forming a fan-like pattern. Within the triangular space between the wings and body, the name 'El Al' appears in Hebrew characters. A bilingual legend in Hebrew (stylized relief letters) and English encircles the rim, reading the biblical quotation from Isaiah 43:6: 'Bring back my sons from far and my daughters from the end of the earth.' |
