| Obverse description | A stylized dove with wings spread wide and body inclined to the right dominates the field, its wing tips and feet forming a fan-like pattern in high relief. Between the wings and body, the name "El Al" is engraved in Hebrew. A bilingual legend encircles the design, with stylized Hebrew letters around the rim and an English inscription reading "Bring Back My Sons From Far And My Daughters From The End Of The Earth" (Isaiah 43:6) woven through the composition. |

| Reverse description | The entire field is filled with large, boldly stylized Hebrew letters in high relief, rendered freely and unevenly to create an abstract, interlocking composition. All 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet are present, arranged without strict order across the surface, with the letter aleph (א) prominently positioned near the center. |
