| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold relief depiction of Mane Katz's sculpture 'The Double-Bass Player at a Jewish Wedding', showing a figure merged with the instrument in an expressive, stylised form. A curved musical staff with notes arcs across the upper right field, with the legend 'MAZEL TOV' in Latin script along the upper left arranged as notes, and the artist's signature in Latin script at the bottom. The Hebrew legend 'עוד חוזר הניגון' ('the tune returns') is absent from this smaller format's visible field. |
