| Reverse description | The reverse presents a raised central medallion bearing the Hebrew inscription "Masada shall not fall again" in bold, interlocking block letters evoking the walls of a fortress. Surrounding the central device, the English legend "MASADA SHALL NOT FALL AGAIN" curves in the middle field. The entire border is filled with a continuous frieze of stylised figures in relief depicting armed soldiers and excavation workers, commemorating both the defence and restoration of Masada. |
