| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a detailed relief view of the Masada fortress rising from its rocky plateau, with signs of the Roman siege visible at the mountain base. Above the cliff, a bold Hebrew inscription from Elazar Ben Yair's speech is rendered in an interlocking architectural lettering style. The English translation of the legend, 'WE SHALL REMAIN FREE MEN', curves along the lower rim. |
