Reverse description
In the center, an ancient shield and on its raised center, the inscription: `Masada shall not fall again`. The letters piercing forth as a series of towers, all of it reminiscent of a fortress. The English translation of the inscription is around the shield. Round the rim, a flowing model of figures, armed soldiers lending a hand in the excavation and restoration of Masada.
